Castings Of Fig Leaves For The Tabletop Fountain

I made three leaf castings of fig leaves today to be used on my tabletop fountain (only two are shown, the third is not ready to handle). They turned out nice.  I forgot to spray PAM on the first leaf I did, but it didn't seem to make any difference.  The leaf peeled off easily.  The leaves are smaller so I waited for about 6 hours before I tried to handle the castings.  It worked out fine.  They have been cleaned and will be left to cure a while before painting.
