I was hoping that maybe philip or someone could answer this for me . I remember seeing a tutorial made by squirly a bit ago but im not sure where it is and it seemed it was a harder way or somthing.
What my question is , is what would be the best way to get these stones to stick out of the ground? i have already done this but i still get wierd stuff in between the stones and it looks bad
