Are solidly in the meh category. Unlike paper mâché clay it’s less sticky and really does require a mold. It’s less sculpt-able and more just mash it and forget it. I’m going to try the recipe that contains PVA (Elmer’s) glue and see if that makes a difference in how I can sculpt it.

All that to say that the pieces I did mold are VERY VERY interesting and they aren’t even fully cured. They are still at about 50% moisture content. I really like the look of concrete and I’m interested in how the paper shreds interact and look in the concrete. There are some fibers that are fully encased but not all.

Interesting. Also the mix of concrete with paper is extremely heavy. Much heavier than the paper mâché clay.

The kind of molding I’m interested in, mostly are what I have always called “slump” molds, or molds that are on the inside of the piece. Rather than a more traditional style where the clay goes inside the mold.
