6. The Weeping Angel Silhouette Monument

Add an artistic focal point with a tombstone topped by a carved angel or winged mourner. Sketch a simplified silhouette of folded wings resting over an arched headstone. Reinforce the wing shape with internal cardboard ribs to prevent bending. Apply a heavy coat of spackle across the wing feathers, dragging a fork lightly through the paste to give feathery, carved-marble texture.
