| I'd like to mosaic a lawn ornament but find them to be quite pricey. Has anyone found a cheap place to buy them? |

| Don't know what kind of "ornaments" you want to mosaic, but you KNOW what I do. You can also use polystyrene. Check out Sherri Warner Hunter's book on building with it. |

| I'd think you'd just need to search thrift stores and garage sales. I'd be careful with places like Wal-Mart, Lowes etc. Lots of these ornaments are made out of plastics and resins. Not sure how well they would hold up to the weather. You want to make sure your base is made out of concrete and is not coated with anything that's going to wear off, like paint. |

| Garden centers, nurseries usually have concrete statues. Do a Google search for concrete statuary in your area. Never have found a cheap hobby. |

| sometimes you can find a concrete casting company and they'll sell wholesale to you if you buy enough all at once... But I'm more likely to follow Calam and Slow's examples and make my own stuff |
