Summary: My steps to make a cement fish fossil sculpture, step 1-3

Step 1. I started with:

  • Winterstone powder (and mixing bucket)
  • 11x14 inch box photo frame (any tray would do, though)
  • 1/2 inch grid wire mesh, coated variety
  • heavy copper wire (for making hangers on back)
(Keep a water sprayer handy, to keep the cement damp!)

Step 2. First I made to bent "U" shapes with the wire, like this: [sketch] <-- bend here, [sketch]

Step 3. I put those in the tray, like this: [sketch] top view, [sketch] 3/4 view
Make sure they're spaced evenly for balance when the fossil hangs later.
