Tried making these about a month ago and had some beginners luck. All 4 turned out great: had to use tin snips to get the molds out of 3 - will need additional release agent next time; one mold/bowl would just not cooperate so it has become a permanent fixture inside the pot.

First question - what kind/s of paint works well ? cement colorant/wood stain/ other ? ? Some of Dave's pictures seemed to have variegated colors - maybe even pastel or florescent ? ? ?

Second question - Some of you have pictures showing the tops of your pots flaring out or even bent over like a leaf. How do you get that affect ?

Any comment/suggestions - success/failure stories would be very helpful.
