Ode to a Birdbath

Columbus, OH(Zone 5b)

I've been looking for a way to age my Birdbath.
New concrete has very little character, yet there is no way I'm going to bury it for 2 months and moss won't grow in our heat.
I devised a plan involving water thinned latex paint, weeds, mud, beets and grass clippings.
After some trial and error I think I achieved that "been here longer than you" look.

Here's the Birdbath before I started; pretty but gray.
