Beautiful!   :headbang:
The stones that look like mountains work the best in the design.   :icon_sunny:

I was afraid that it would be difficult to tell the size but wasn't sure how to do a good photograph with a ruler included. This may help a little. The tines in the rakes are the head ends of fancy toothpicks and the handles are 4.5 inches long and 1/8th inch in diameter. The lengths of the gardens range from 12 inches long and 6 inches wide to 14 inches long by 8 inches wide. Most of the stones are fist sized and under.

None of the rocks are glued down. The larger ones will stay put pretty good but the smaller ones will move real easy when bumped with the rake. I think they would be really difficult to ship with the rocks attached so if someone buys one they will have to glue down the stone wherever they want it. Also, if I do not glue a stone down people can choose the stone they want to go with their garden..

You can quote me on this, I have the scar.

Wow, the workmanship on these is nice!  What a cool idea; I hadn't really wrapped my head around your concept, seeing the pics helps quite a bit.
