The Story of Garden Guardians

It is made with a glass fiber reinforced concrete, treated with air entrainment and sealed with a heavy duty impregnating concrete sealer that will protect it form cracking or crumbling in the winter months. Patina is an acid and concrete stain. Signed and dated.

The mossy surface was achieved with a wash of both acid and concrete stains.  Over time you can expect the sculpture to develop its  own natural patina.

 Weather  resistance is achieved by the use of air entailments, (minimizes the size and spread of air bubbles), fibers, (enhances tensile strength) water proofer ( prevents water from seeping into the pores of the concrete), and concrete sealer (a final layer of protection).  A slow and extended curing time also works to strengthen the concrete.  Your sculpture will be safe outside during the winter.
