I had to make a paper mache version so it would be light enough to mail. You can see it here: www.ultimatepapermache.com/paper-mache-head-maybe My dad's wife is an amazingly accomplished gardener, and she's filled his pots with a wide variety of plants. They all look lovely. So now I must ask - have you made any pot-heads yourself?

Thanks for a great video. Did this recipe stand the test of time? Would you still recommend it or any tweaks to suggest? I've spent massive time researching sculpture possibilities & with thought & prayer believe I am going to do some projects I have on my list trying cement/ concrete & give this a try. What do you think of adding a cement drenched jute or burlap bottom layer first? I saw one sculptor who works with cement who says you can add additional super plasticizer to the cement if it is starting to dry too much, which will free even more water from within the cement/ concrete mix, to give a bit more time to work with what you have mixed.

Which product is it that gives that smooth look? I have been doing hypertufa and using various recipes tying to make my mix more smooth and have gotten really frustrated with the end result. Any help? Thanks!

@UltimatePaperMache

7 жыл бұрын

This is a special concrete mix, not hypertufa. I used the "mesh" recipe on this page: www.makersgallery.com/concrete/howto1b.html It was expensive to gather all the ingredients, because some of them only come in 50 pound bags. I've decided that I'm going to use epoxy clay from now on for my outdoor projects, just because I'm too wimpy to cart all those heavy bags around. But there are a few people on etsy.com who sell small amounts of the ingredients, for people who make concrete jewelry.

Since I love to work in clay maybe I should try this or start working in concrete. Opinion?

There are several guest posts on my website showing how to use Pal-Tiya, but I haven't tried it yet. I think Portland cement is part of it, but there's something else that makes it work so beautifully and I have no idea what that is. If it does have Portland cement in it, I wish they would just sell the other stuff that's in the mix so we could buy the heavy cement at our local store. That would cut down on shipping costs a lot. Did you try the mixture that I used in this video? It was kind of expensive to gather all the stuff together, but it worked really well.

Hi it's me again, I seem to be having a problem with the second mortar mix. I followed the directions exactly, but what I seem to have come up with is something close to silly putty. At first it spread on so nice and then I noticed that it hardened super fast, like 1 to 2 mins. and then it would do this very slow crawl down the side of my piece. I mixed it in very small batches, since I didn't want to waste any and I'm glad I did. I was wondering if the problem is the super plasticizer, I put a cap full, but I was wondering if I put too much in. They sent me the super plasticizer in a small soda bottle, so the cap isn't very large.
