Our Circle of Stones started life as a small model box bought from Hastings at the checkout. I think it was meant to be one of those Zen garden style things. It had puzzle pieces forming a decorative (though flimsy) base. Foley picked it up and put it together, enjoying it's simplicity.
Somehow, it sat for ages in a dark and forgotten area of shelf. Eventually, Foley dug it out and reported it for finishing. Taking a bit of flat baseboard, she went to work on the project that was at least a year old.

The base was sprayed a nice Hunter Green. The original base was placed on it, but there was some warping due to the glue. The original base was even flimsier than I originally suspected.
From there, Foley took to the supply bins and raided a bunch of cool material to flock and finish out the base with. Notice the Army Painter Meadow Flowers tufts in there. Very...uh...Spring-y? Admittedly, not what I expected when Foley told me she was finishing a ritual circle.
I probably should have, though.
The finished product is good on the table. The little addition of a bright spot on the battlefield can change the whole look of the table layout. The Circle will probably feature in some objective driven scenario play as well. All in all, well worth what amounts to just the $5 spent on a box in the checkout line at Hastings.
