Concrete Slabs

[Shogun610]

I want to make a couple of sick slabs So I’m wondering what any of you have constructed . After doing some reading and research. I want to get wire mesh/ chicken wire and then a mesh screen (fiberglass) as the supporting structure.. and quick Crete with a waterproof resin already premixed in .. and for final layer a grittier finish w sand ????? And metal brush and artist putty knife for final texture.. can you get pigment of stone only by a concrete color or can you use testers paint or any oil based paint to kix into concrete as final layer. I have off work Friday , so I want to start this by then. Any input and resources would greatly be appreciated.

Concrete Rock Pot/Slab?

Here’s a concrete pot I made for an elm forest in desperate need of new pot. I plan to repotting them into this in the spring. I’ll share pics in the spring after it’s planted.
