I recommend this site for all sorts of amazing and very strange things. Dont know if you have been to it but I can say that the foot controlled variable speed dremel at the top of the page is outstanding for all kinds of things. Explore this site if you never have. The have stuff like glass syringes and glass slides and test tubes. This place is great for odd and good priced crafting fodder.

Wow! Those are goergous!! Love the colors of the nightmare before x-mas one!

How and with what are you painting these?

[CombichristGirl]

just cheap paint brushes and cheap sponge brushes. for paint just plain old acrylics with some mixing to match a color i like or watering it down. and for techniques well there are many possible steps involved. also depending on how you "shape" the stone before will play a part in the way the coloring will sit on the stone. any more ?s or anything just ask away

quick edit: just an FYI for everyone i noticed my nmbc tombstone looks a bit lik emy greeny ones. thats just the lighting because the sponging is actually grey kk bye

LOVE!

I really like the Clara tombstone. How was it working with the foam compared to styrofoam? And does it hold up better/worse? I really think I would like to try it.

I love them. Someday I'll have a house with storage so i can make stuff like this, although it will never be as awesome.

CBG - it's all looking great! The book cover and to tombstones are awesome. I like Jack's collar on the book. It gives it that 3D effect which makes it more life-like.

remember its not just for stones you make make about anything with it

Agreed. once you start playing with foam, you realize just about anything is possible with foam, paint and some time.
