Geode rough fit

pasitheaThis is a rough mount of the interior I made for the stump at the other end of my meditation space.
I need more river stone and to anchor it properly but it's good to see it starting to take shape.
It's made from glass slag from the bottom of a blast furnace, mounted on resin with a fiberglass backing.
I started by making a chicken wire frame inside the tree stump and then a paper-mache layer over that so it would hold it's shape. Then took it out of the stump so I could make guides and do the resin casting in sections (rotating it a bit each day)
The slab of stone across the top of the stump can also be sat on, of course or used as a table.
I have a few other things left to do but at least it's progress.
Edit: changed view to better picture.
