It does seem very easy to use but I don't know if I have the patience for the drying times plus it seems very expensive for large areas but I do like the finish.<br /><br />Am eager to try Michelle and Jenn's 'mud' next which seems a very reasonable way to gain a good stucco covering and maybe the art mache????<br /><br />So many ideas so little time!onbeingaminimumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11176422732636109060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450570313984527266.post-78060420985114019132011-03-05T12:01:29.799+00:002011-03-05T12:01:29.799+00:00Its looking good so far Janice.

I don't know if it cracks due to thickness, or thickness of the glue, or the way it has been rolled and stressed, or what. I'd do samples, but I only have a little left and I don't want to waste it! :)<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing the shadow box finished :)Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956249453834779477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450570313984527266.post-17430365908840217732011-03-05T02:47:36.039+00:002011-03-05T02:47:36.039+00:00You've done an amazing job with the paper clay...You've done an amazing job with the paper clay!

I remember reading how each morning when Rik Pierce went back to work on Hogwarts, he spent at least an hour filling in cracks on the previous day's work! :)<br />This is going to be a really fun project!Cate and Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305216525600458782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450570313984527266.post-67911674895947814582011-03-04T23:54:29.246+00:002011-03-04T23:54:29.246+00:00Looks Great Janice!

They ARE all fixable. Pop over to my last post but one and see my method of filling cracks. No sure how compatible filler is with paperclay...but you'll find out! ;o)) <br /><br />As for warping it often occurs when paperclay is applied to a thin/flexible surface. You could have weighted it down as it was drying with a heavy book over the top with anything heavy on top of that (the shelves would have protected the paperclay). <br /><br />Tell me about drying times...ARRRGHHH! This is my constant nightmare and niggle! I try and get on with other bits now. I don't know what is worse, hot weather or cool..the clay has a will of its own and whether it will decide to warp and crack.<br /><br />It's a great idea though Janice and I can imagine it finished already and what wonderful straight and even bricks you have sculpted too!!! ;o)))<br /><br />Will reply to your email tomorrow...and THANK YOU!<br />Michelle xxxMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844807744316681870noreply@blogger.com
