Concrete Planters
Custom made Burlap Hypertufa Planters. Selling them as a set of four. They were hand made using a cement slurry mix that was soaked through out the burlap fabric. While still wet they were draped over large buckets. After dried I added another coat of glass fiber-ed cement for added strength. After cured I added several stains that gives them a leather look and feel. Very strong yet flexible.

About The Artist
Tom Ehlers has always been interested in doing artistic creations with concrete. With his foundation of knowledge of concrete and surrounded by artistic friends, Tom learned to make his first rubber mold of a simple clay carving. From there, using his artistic and concrete construction background, he started his company - Stone Effects.
His focus has been making architectural and garden elements. For over 24 years, Tom has made a living doing what he loves. Starting with the concept on the drawing board,creating the model, making the mold and casting the piece in concrete. Over the years Tom has made over 300 molds of his original designs, architectural finds, and artist - friends creations.
Tom developed his own concrete mix which uses Glass Fibered Reinforced Cement (RFRC). This mix is manufactured to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Using integral colors, various stains and textures, his cast concrete has the style of weathered Old World carved stone.
Stone Effects creates Architectural and Garden Elements. Mantels, Fountain Features, Garden Plaques, Corbels, Keystones, Entryways, Tiles, Balustrades, Faux Bois Furniture, Statuary, Finials, Masks, Leaves, and Monuments.
