By: Ji Smith, Robyn

Cement Garden Art instruction- As a child, I made garden art with my family. At 76 years of age, I decided I needed a new craft. I researched this art so my memory bank was refreshed. It is important to understand in layman terms all the dos and don'ts. I contacted major cement manufacturers' technical departments to ensure my information was correct. It is important to understand in layman terms all the dos and don'ts. After watching many YouTube videos I was a little alarmed at some of the recipes. I am a Clinical Aromatherapist that understands chemical do and do nots. The mistakes people were making with their recipes on YouTube is what has prompted me to make this book.
As a child I made Garden Art with my family. At 76 years of age, I decided I needed a new craft. I tried resin work and did not enjoy the smell. Therefore, I decided to make garden art. People do not want to add more things to their homes. Often while buying plants, I noticed the joy people had deciding on what statue to put in their garden. I now live in a very small townhouse therefore, I can only make small pieces. With a 65-year gap in making these cement projects, I felt compelled to do a load of research. Sharing is caring. I am sharing my knowledge with you. I pray it helps some folk make some money. It is such a blessing to know in advance the way to make long-lasting art with integrity. I purchased a few pieces at various stages in my life and a few pieces have disappointed me because they did not last for long. It is important to build a customer base of people that trust you.
