Hey there! Cool orbs, thanks for sharing! I am a scenic artist for theater and haunted attractions. To get a really cool aged copper patina, use hammered metallic copper spray paint, then stipple or sponge on the patina using craft acrylic paints in tones of mint green-blue. to make it especially realistic, determine where water would naturally collect, and concentrate the patina there. :)
i give you a lot of credit, brother. It's not easy to stick with something over many days. You seem to find the process engaging and joyful. Thank you from a 70y.o. potter.
There are several small coastal towns here in New Zealand that have those old WW2 sea mines as their monuments. Ones that washed up on their beaches. Unbeknown to most Kiwis at the time, there was a german sub travelling around NZ during the war and was torpedoing merchant ships between NZ and Aus.
Wow I love these orbs especially the big rusted one. The dots give them a lot of character. I can see how much fun you are having. I think I could truly get addicted to making these. 😊😊😊😊
Jorge, The process to get the end result was no joke. You must love what you do as an artisan because this takes stamina. Thank you for inspiring my creativity.
You could use powdered iron oxide from a ceramics supply company. For black you can buy China ink and for silver, use fire resistant aluminum metallic paint
I really appreciate you showing the problems you encounted with your project. Too many video makers make their projects look eazi pezi. Thank you. Great work 👍
For the hula hoops, you could have tried 2 things. First, you could have attached the latitude rings at even intervals around the equator to keep them from clumping together. You could also add a center rod to keep the oval shape from forming.
I like them all! Very nice! Two thoughts: 1. Get a snap on spayer for your spray paint/sealer (your fingers will thank you) 2. Go to the cake decorating section in your local store and try to find a plastic icing spreader. Sort of like a large plastic scraper. They are a little flexible and might help make applying the cement easier than the metal trowel. I hope you try it!
Awesome tips! Also, when I have to apply paint in a large area, and natural variations in tone are acceptable, I'll put the diluted water-based paint in one of the pump canister lawn sprayers with the wand.
It’s so hard to pick a favorite. They all turned out so beautifully! But I have to admit that I love the giant rusty orb the most. They are so fabulous! 🩷🤩
My FAVORITE DIY … Jorge you’re truly so talented and the best High End designs I’ve seen thus far. I’m not trying to be mean, but it seems that the other DIY creators “High End” creations look a little cheap and tacky. Don’t get me wrong, they’re talented beyond belief… But you… YOU ARE A TRUE ARTIST 🤍🖼️
Well that was an 3ducation and so many great ideas I'm a wood artist from Australia and I can imagine these at the foot of a carved ornate fireplace!! Fabulous Jorge thank you
So beautiful and stately!! Tons of charm and class. The rust one and saller black minesweeper looking ones actually look metal. The lighter small ones look quiet refined and would go great with brick houses. Realy add so much character that living landscaping does not. Bravo!
I absolutely love watching your platform. You’re so talented. I don’t know if you’re self taught or if you’ve gone to school to get your background, but you are very talented and in my eyes, you are an artist and that is coming from one artist who went to school for many years to another artist I really like your work. I like your quality in the imagination that you use and you’re not afraid to try new things. Great job.
Wow the rusty one is fabulous, there is ways of you doing the rust and patina effect with a lot cheaper things from around the house, then just go ahead with you reall good sealer ❤
To ensure moist curing, I cover my concrete projects with a wet Terry towel, the concrete can pull the moisture from it as it cures and allows if to cure to full strength.
They are amazing. I'm in England and I made some painted them yellow and put an amoji face. Also I covered two with different coloured glass pebbles. Thanks for sharing your ideas ❤❤❤❤
Love, love these orbs! Thank you so much Jorge for your tutorials and your easy going attitude as you take us through the process! They turned out awesome! They were all beautiful!
They turned out fantastic. The black ones look like mines.. If you want a rusted look, use bronze acrylic for the base or charcoal colour and then just add the bronze colour and turquoise in random places with a rag or sponge.
The large rust orb really turned out fantastic. They all look great but my fave has to be the big rusty one, followed closely by the bumpy ones. That doesn't mean I don't like the little ribbed ones. They fantastic too.
I’ll be diving into my first cement project this summer so wish me luck 🤞🏽 I’ll be taking inspiration from your cement pots so I wish the DIY gods are in my favour
What a fun project... These are wonderful yard art pieces. I would like to see one turned into a water feature. I have been shopping for some large interesting objects to make one for our place. This is quite neat. Thanks for the inspo and how to....
The giant rusty orb is amazing. Such a lot of work &very appreciated.
loved the "big ass ball." All of them turned out wonderful as always. Yet, really, the "big ass ball" is still my favorite. You are an awesome artist.
My favorite is the giant Rusty orb. It turned out so great

I am a 69 year old potter. He does beautiful work. These look so amazing.
The smaller ones with nobs are reminding me of old WW2 mines used by various naval blockades

I’m obsessed with the big rusty orb!
MAKE ONE!
ITS FUN

Love them all my favourite the rustic one 😊
I like the rusted look but shining it up eould make it look so good too
Love them ALL!! Well done!!😃😃
They are awesome. I can't believe how beautiful every one of these turned out. So much time and work, but clearly worth the effort.
Got to say that I absolutely love the big rust and the small roped spheres. Can you imagine shipping those big boys to the UK 😅😅😅
Those orbs are awesome. Love the rusty one. Great job.
I really appreciate you showing the problems you encounted with your project.
Too many video makers make their projects look eazi pezi. Thank you. Great work 👍
Love this!!! You can put a round piece of wood on top of the big one and make a side table.
For the hula hoops, you could have tried 2 things. First, you could have attached the latitude rings at even intervals around the equator to keep them from clumping together. You could also add a center rod to keep the oval shape from forming.
Love the color combination of the dark, light and rust orbs all together. Wonderful job!
You have a lot of patience! Your creations show for it, they are beautiful!
You all are little miracle makers! These kind of video’s are so awesome to watch! 😎
Thank you for sharing your little miracles with the world! 🥰🥰
I like them all! Very nice!

Love this idea!
Love your imagination and talent. The rust look on the largest orb is amazing!
It’s so hard to pick a favorite.
They all turned out so beautifully!
But I have to admit that I love the giant rusty orb the most.
They are so fabulous!
🩷🤩
Absolutely beautiful, they all look like old iron relics of war.
Perfect ... one of the best DIY videos all year
Enjoyed the creation of the Orbs. ALL of them are beautiful. The black one with the nubs instantly reminded me of the mines that are in the sea/ocean.
Love how you continue to stress the importance of making sure your cement is wet

Your orbs have interior access and can be marketed as fountains. Beautiful.
I LOVE the ribbed ones. The spiky ones look like underwater mines, lol.

Or barrel cactus.

They turned out fantastic. The black ones look like mines..
If you want a rusted look, use bronze acrylic for the base or charcoal colour and then just add the bronze colour and turquoise in random places with a rag or sponge.
I like them and the rust one looked better than I thought it would!!! You go Jorge...
