DIY Memorial Stepping Stone

May 26, 2012 urngarden.com

For Mother’s Day I whipped together some stepping stones and the results were pretty spectacular, except my stones are not designed for bare feet as you will see. Broken pottery shards are not kind to the bottoms of your feet, but they sure look good! This would be a fun craft or kids’ activity for a Memorial Day get together.

1. Round up your supplies. One bag of Quik Crete per stone.

2. For the molds, I used clear plastic deli trays, and foil pans. But you could even use a cardboard or pizza box. You’ll need to round up a bucket, hose, and mixing utensil. Raid your stockpile of junk jewelry,  broken glass or dishes, and beads to embellish your stone. Lay out your supplies, because once you start the concrete mix, you’ll have to work quickly.

3. Add water to concrete and start to mix until consistency of pudding. Depending on the depth of your mold, pour the concrete in almost to the top. Spread to level.

The first couple of batches, I poured too thin.

4. Start decorating, gently seating your adornments in the mix. Don’t worry if they sink a bit or are submerged in a little water. The stones will need 2-3 days to cure. Let them sit undisturbed and the stone should just pop out of the mold. Clean it off and blaze a trail.

Dance of Life Keepsake Cremation Urn

Who knew that the Dancing With the Stars finale would be so controversial? Dancing around all the challenges of life can either be a seamless side step  or a herky jerky spasm.  My wish for you today is nothing but smooth moves.

Urn Garden is pleased to represent an American artist who has created a beautiful keepsake urn that depicts the dance. The BIG dance. The one that counts. Dance of Life Keepsake Urn is sculpted and cast in solid brass and stands on it’s own as a work of art.

Strength and Beauty, the Benefits of a Stone Urn

  • Beauty
  • Permanence
  • Elegant
  • Durability
  • Dramatic colors
  • Prefect for burial or niche placement.

 

Marble cremation urns have the strength of stone and are highly regarded for their durability. Because of its beauty, permanence, and elegance, natural marble is a popular choice for many families. In addition, marble urns are produced with high-quality genuine marble from some of the finest quarries throughout the world. Greek and Roman sculptors and architects preferred marble for its beautiful spectrum of dramatic colors and veining patterns which distinguish onyx, alabaster, teakwood and fossil marbles; thus making this natural material very unique.

We love the orange alabaster stone for carving. Softer than marble, the beautiful brilliant orange stone is rare in the mineral kingdom. Alabaster forms close to the earth’s surface and is quarried all over the world, including the United States.
