How to make a concrete head planter?
Ok, I've been all over the web and can't find a how-to on making a head planter that doesn't involve: 1. a mannequin and 2. making a mold and then destroying it to make the planter. Anyone made one? Thanks.

here is way to make reusable silicone mold you will need to use big size everything like a 5 gallon bucket & the mannequin head https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYhOso98N_k you could make a mold with mannequin head and cloth or paper pieces dipped in starch like paper mache over head to get shape let dry cure completely then cut it in half to remove it,seal the 2 pieces/halves with epoxy or polyurethane( so when refilled with cement the water/moisture) will not wreck it, using metal bands strap the two paper/cloth mache pieces together,you would need to add some saran wrap along inside of seam before pouring cement into mold so it will hold moist cement. then fill with cement and something to make open space for plants then when cement is set up release metal bands to get cement planter head out ;then you should be able to strap the 2 pieces back together to make another head. I have not done this & have no idea if it would work; here isvideo i found similar to what i was trying to accomplish/tell you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3rxHJPOWHg no matter which way you do it it's a lot of work are you looking for easy way? or a way to keep mold from being destroyed I'm not sure
