This is my newest creation. For those of you not familiar with Castlemolds® bricks, this is different because as yet, there is no mold for curved fieldstone bricks. I was repairing a chipped (straight) fieldstone brick when I realized that it shouldn't be too difficult to carve "rocks" into the face of the smooth curved bricks. I'm no perfectionist; I started carving the masters on Thursday (April 18) while watching the new episode of Friends and molded them that night. I finished the actual building and painting on Tuesday, April 23, after back to back casting of the single bricks; I didn't even leave the house for longer than it took for the plaster to set up :) It's rough, but I'm happy with it!

In order not to make this page take too long to download, I've put the pix on several pages.
