The rocks got started today. I have a kiddie pool that will be turned over with possibly some lights underneath, but I needed some rocks to go around it so I pulled together some $ store baskets with zip ties and added a few papers taped up with more paper. I attached everything together in a rough rock formation. The next step was to put several cans of great stuff foam all over the whole thing. I currently have 2 formations. Going to definitely need more though. I had picked up about 8 cans, but I think I'm going to need more. I really should just buy the stuff in bulk each year; I usually end up going through quite a few each time. The only suckish thing is that they don't keep; definitely need 'fresh'. 
**UPDATE**I just realized I hadn't added further pictures of these, though I've been working on them periodically. Initially I painted them different types of brown...but it started to look a little...fecal. So I added a bunch of greens to simulate a more mossy color. The final look will work well for rocks meant to be around a waterfall/pool. I've also made a few more, for a total of 4 pieces.
