Hi all;
Finding the messages about paper-clay interesting. I know nothing about it
but your getting my curiousity up here. Will have to do some searching
about why use paperclay. Starting to think it would make my castles alot
lighter, but would it make them stronger. Is it mainly used for
handbuilding large objects?? How will it stand up to the elements if
finished product stands outside??? Do you mix it with a dry-mix of clay or
is it wedged into an existing body??
Will follow the threads more closely on this subject.

No sense of smell, I look like hell. My body drooping, got trouble pooping.

Sylvia---There is an extensive discussion about paperclay in the clayart
archives--about 8-10 months ago. Everything from recipes to why use
it.

Sometimes I think we should all collaborate on an online pub that puts all
this stuff in categories for everyone to just download instead of having
to look through the archives. Then when a question like Sylvia's comes
up, we could refer people to the FAQ on the web.

Working on some FAQ's, I have a database with about 3,500 past clayart
messages on it. I searched for "paperclay" in the message area and came
up with a few. Who wants it? Sam, who is hoping to get a web page
together, someday...
