| After years of trying different mediums I think I have finally found a black grout that won't discolour when it is constantly under water, it seems to be fine but it will take a few weeks before I feel really confident.
This is my first really large water bowl
With water and flowers
My pets love the bowls I have scatterd all over, today was hot and Bella thought this was wonderful.
Lit up at night with floating candles, the photo doesn't show how the light glitters as the candles float around.
Hope the photos work.
I have now gone out and bought a mass of bowls all shapes and sizes, I am going to have a lot of fun!!!
Cheers Deb. |

Thanks guys I want to do Koi fish in the bottom of the next one.
The grout I used is 'kerapoxy epoxy grout made by Mapie', it was a challenge to use, like trying to spread chewing gum and at $120 for 10 kg it better hold up!!
We have a lot of 'Bali' shops around here and I try to get most of my big cement bowls from them, much cheaper than a landscape shop. I have used terracotta plant pots before and just plugged the draining hole.

| How utterly enchanting w/the candles. I LOVE candlelight, and am looking for ideas and inspiration. Almost thou persuadeth me to make a bowl. All I can think of, though, is it w/be a mosquito breeding bowl here in TX. |

| Beautiful, especially at night with the candles. I have to make one! Slow, we could make them for use indoors as a centerpiece for a party, and for use outdoors also except we would have to empty them the next morning! The mosquitoes are everywhere here after all the recent rain and they are big and mean. |

| Thanks, SILVA - gonna think on this. I had a large pot saucer, but gave it to FLAG!!!!!!!!!! Dang it - every time I get rid of something, I wish I had it back. W/have to go shopping soon for bowls. Heck, I could even make one from metal lathe!!!!! Addig a wee bit of cholorox w/keep the skeeters out too. |

| Your bowls are beautiful!!! Great idea!!! I'm gonna have to see if Lowes has that grout here. I need something that will hold up to below zero weather. |

We get a LOT of mosquitoes here as well, when I water the garden I spash water into the bowls and let them over flow a bit, also I need to change the water every so often otherwise the water will go stagnant.
Mosaiced terracotta saucers look great lit up as well, actually nearly any thing that you can put water in looks good. Here are two terracotta saucers lit up.
