First time to read this!
Your work is very, very good @Ruben Bouwmeester and after some time the process of aging will make them better and better, I think.

I have a question for you, if I may.
Do you use any kind of bonding liquid when applying each layer? I am wondering how cement can adhere on cement...
Thanks.


P.S.: I have created a rock using melted (partly - just for creating shapes) expanded polystyrene as a base and pouring cement over it.

This is an exceptional post of a fantastic idea exquisitely executed. Thank you. Can't wait for the video.

That is brilliant! You are an artist for sure........ free shipping? Hehehhe

Holy Sh+#. Those are amazing. You need to make a few YouTube vids on your process. I live in SoCal. that is pure art.
I’d love to maybe purchase a Dino egg and or small slab if possible. I’m guessing customs would be a nightmare.

Well done

Slab for Ed. It's big.

Hi Ha back hernia.

So, did you build a wire framework for all your slabs, or use some other technique? Their awesome.

When the cement mix is still not hardend you can ad a second layer, or else you have too burn it with only cement. I had some problems with cracks in the beginning. How you are drying is very important.

There is this italian guy who makes rock from polystyrene with lava. He is on Facebook on the name Vulcanic Art

Your creations are awesome Ruben. What 'other material' did you use for these ones?

 

[Ruben Bouwmeester]

Thanks Drew (still improving) these are made from lightweight concrete. Fist time i worked with it.

You've inspired me, I think give a 'mountainscape' a go, wish me luck!

So cool, discuss your work with a bonsai master. Full off new ideas!!
