Yard Statue - Other Crafts

When it was dry (approximately 48 hours later)I added a face using Crayola air dry clay, which I attached to the concrete patch covering by frequently wetting my fingers in a bucket of water. A week later, I sprayed Rustoleum Stone Creations spray paint on it, then added a little bit of craft paint on the eyes & face, followed by clear sealer. Not a bad conversion for ugly vases, eh?
