This is a
faux flagstone design done with
Scofield Lithochrome Chemstain on existing concrete after the removal of
black
"cutback"
tile adhesive. You can read more about this project in Gaye Goodman's acid-staining newsletter
here.
This project
won Honorable Mention in American Painting Contractor Magazine's Year 2003 TOP
JOBS Awards. As the best testament to
how real these rocks look close up, the homeowner's young grandchildren play
"hopscotch" on them while they are visiting!

The rock
pattern was first drawn out on the floor using soapstone. Then the grout
was painted in, using a water-
based acrylic stain, and sealed with a water-based acrylic sealer to protect it
during the staining of the rocks. The
rocks were done individually, each one layered with different shades of acid
stain to give them "natural" coloring.
