Thought that would get cha to lookin !! LOL... I just had to share with all of you my first papercrete man. I tryed to do the easterisland statue, I think he is pretty darn handsom. He is completely dry now. This is just the papercrete mixture and what a chore it was to soak and rip up all the paper..ARG.. So I went and bought the cellouse and will give that a try on my next one! Oh and also the top of his head is open, I put a large coffee can in it so that I can plant some flowers in it this summer. He is about 2 ft tall and as big around as gallon can.
I do have a question though...
My statue is just papercrete at this point. If I read correctly I still need to do a coat of just portland to seal him up, is that right??
