Then carve hawaiian petroglyphs on it. What is the cheapest, easiest way I can go about it? I don't own any "man tools" and I've never done any craft. I did a search on the web for 'how to make fake stone' but it sounds too complicated FOR ME with all those chicken wire and grout mixing. I was thinking of using styrofoam sheets, then carve my symbols with a 'soldering iron'? Then paint it with those stone spray paint. Now the problem is, the styrofoam sheets would be too nice and FLAt. How do I make it more 3d like a cave wall?? I read some where about some insulation foam. Can I spray this foam on top of the styrofoam sheet? Thanks for any idea.
