To make this DIY “Kintsugi Canyon” table from white GFRC concrete, I started by carving the canyon and crevice molds from foam. I coated the foam with epoxy resin and then placed the foam knockouts in the melamine concrete form. I sprayed a white GFRC concrete mix to get a nice even surface, and then handpacked the back coat of concrete. With the foam removed, I could proceed to apply gold leaf (aka gilding) to the canyon and crevices in the concrete. The gold leaf is a modern take on the ancient Japanese technique of kintsugi.
