very realistic granite look. Did you smash up the potmelt to get the small bits? Also, a sunflower is a good choice to go with granite. Both have a sense of weight.

Thank you everyone!! My dh made me a pipe end that I put the glass in and smash with a pipe. I tried to get it really small pieces. The mold is approximately 5.75” x 6.5” x 2.37” and holds 450 grams. The lid mold holds 220 grams.
