Stamped concrete...........

A tint is added to the standard concrete mix to add coloration, & then the concrete is poured.



After setting a while the slab is dusted with powder, stamps are positioned, & then tamped down to form the floor pattern. Dust flies everywhere, but will be washed away in a few days. The purpose of the dust is to keep the stamps from sticking to the still wet
concrete.



Here's the finished pattern.
