I removed the fig leaves from the basin I made yesterday and this is what I have. Nothing cracked and tips are all in tact... yay! While the cement was still soft, I deepened some of the veins using a metal skewer where I thought it needed it. The shape turned out nice but I found that I had a lot of air holes in the surface of the cement. I'm not sure what is causing this. I didn't have any sand on the leaves... they were clean. I'm wondering if it is because I used several layers of leaves and opportunity was there for air to be trapped under the cement. Has anyone else ever had this happen? Hopefully, it will be fine and not that noticeable once completed.
