Thanks - glad you like it.

It is made from styrofoam, then covered with grout/tile adhesive, then painted, and sealed, all using water based non-toxic products.

I found some excellent sites on 'how-to' the best is in the below link with an awesome setup.

My first attempt was not too bad, but crickets found places to hide, so I started over.

If you gonna give it a try keep me posted, I'd love to see how you get on.

Good luck!
