Darjit                  

.

This Lion Fountain created on a wall made up of a wire armature then covered with Darjit. Mirrors were installed in the Darjit wall to create the illusion of hole in the wall. The light and images that the mirrors capture make the garden dance.

Here is a close up of what will be a moss covered section of this fountain. By combining Darjit, cement, soil and forming them in a bird nest shape, then tucking pieces of moss inside, the moss will grow to cover this part of the wall creating a babbling brook sound as the water cascades from basin to basin finally to fall in the pool of frolicking fish.

This is the Pantry floor that Jennifer McGee created. I created it by first sealing the wood and the lower part of the sheet rock with concrete adhesive, next I used a pencil to sketch a pattern on the floor, then I sculpted the grape clusters using sheet metal cut to the height I wanted my finished floor to be and let it harden over night. Next I formed the vines, tendrils and the veins in the leaves, using the sheet metal to determine the correct height, then let it set overnight. Then I sculpted the leaves and let them set. Finally I started filling in around the design until I completely filled in the floor. I filled in the right side first and let harden then the left so I had plenty of room to work. I used concrete colorant that I found at a cement supplier to color the darjit in my pattern. I let it dry completely, and then coated the floor with multiple coats of a polyurethane sealant for concrete or use a floor wax (DO NOT use polyurethane design for wood, It will yellow and flake off slowly).
