I was given some cash for my birthday and I knew straight away what I would like to buy so on Thursday my wife and I had a drive to the centre where they make concrete statues etc. The place is absolutely brilliant with such a wide selection of things available you can be tempted to buy too much. However you have to limit yourself due to the weight of these things. So I bought two statues of Buddha to join my other ones in the garden. However they are not painted at all so I bought the paint and yesterday set about painting them. It was quite pleasant in the garden in the sun. I gave the statues two under coats and then applied the gold over the statues with a sponge. I am pretty pleased with the results.

That is a good buy for your faith. Buddha is also popular here.

@Alexandoy I am not Buddhist in fact I have become very disillusioned by religion and the evils hidden by so called religious people especially priests who rape and sexually molest children whilst being in a position of trust. I would go as far as saying I hate them.

You did a beautiful job! I suppose gold suits Buddha. We have concrete statues of cats in the rock garden.

That's very handsome. I have a Hindu god in my Bast grove, near where two of my cats lie.

It look great! And of course makes me feel peaceful. Will the gold paint last in the sun?
