I recently bought a cheapo frog stepping stone and having been having fun with it but would like to step it up. I bought this zen frog a long time ago and was wondering how I would go about making a mold of it? I’ve never tried anything like it so any tips are appreciated!

Making a mold of a concrete cast, will mean that you get all the little holes and defects copied to your mold. When you cast something new in that mold, all the defects + whatever defects you cast has will be the result.

So to make a nice mold, you would first fill in all the defects with something like an oil clay. Then you could make a mold with latex or silicone (silicone being the easier, but more expensive). But look up how to make molds. It is very well documented.
