Goodness, you are so talented
This project was incredibly good. You are an amazing creator. Thanks for sharing.
I love this, it's beautiful.
Your lantern is beautiful and so well made! I would imagine time and weather will make it even more impressive. Itβs nice to see someone not βcut cornersβ and to do a job well, start to finish. You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity. π
Really nice, i think the natural look is better than painting it. Matches with everything else as it is.
I think it turned out beautifully!
Wow! Ur such an artist, my dear ππΌββοΈ
I don't know what to say….!!!!
I am speechless pretty much….!!!
I wish I had the energy to do something like that.
Keep up the good work!!!
Irene, you did an amazing job on this pagoda (lantern). I love your projects, you are so meticulous and a perfectionist as well. I have enjoyed all your projects, immensely. Keep up the good work.
White cement makes it easier to color the mix. When I made planters ( prox 100) my favorite was using white cement and nothing else but the vermiculite and coconut coir to give it color.
Very pretty lantern, I am tempted taking up my old cement hobby again.
Beautiful job. A lot of work
Irene you should write a book you are so talented! Are you are you an engineer or an architect? Is gorgeous!!!
Awesome job !!!
ππππππππ₯°

Oh My Gosh β£β£β£
I don't know where to start!!!
You are SO GIFTED & INTELLIGENT
God has blessed you with quite the gift.
"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
Any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
And when things start to happen,
Don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.
OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!"

Looks very nice. You may try supporting the roof mold by carefully pressing it on to a pad of dampened play sand until the sand is shaped to the mold.
Thank you for another great project.
Great job,but not for your average DIY person.
Dear Irene – Absolutely great job, and the patterns will be very helpful/ I will mix very small stones as part of the concrete. Thanks!
Boa tarde tens as medidas de cada parte dos moldes para fazer ?
