Weatherproof Paper Mache Clay for Outdoor Sculptures - an Experiment

I have two new experimental recipes for weatherproof paper mache clay, inspired by the giant outdoor pots made by Warren Eggleton back in 2013. I changed his recipe a little, to make sure it would come out exactly the same every time, but it's essentially the usual paper mache clay recipe with Portland cement added to it. The videos I made when experimenting with the new paper cement clay: A leaf casting:    • Leaf Casting Made With Weatherproof Paper ...   Starting a toad sculpture:    • Garden Toad Made with Weatherproof Paper M...   The finished toad, painted and sealed:    • Painting The Paper Cement Clay Toad   Updates on how well the toad is doing:    • Update for Paper Cement Clay - Experimenta...      • Paper Cement Clay Update - Is it Really We...   Be sure to read Warren's post to see how his pots were made and how he sealed them: https://www.ultimatepapermache.com/pots For text versions of both recipe, visit this page: https://www.ultimatepapermache.com/we... I made two recipes, one that contains the drywall joint compound, and one that doesn't. I tested them both by allowing small sculptures to cure for about a week, and then put them in a bowl of water for a day or two. They didn't soften at all after all that time in the water, but they did get wet. These are not waterproof paper mache clay - but it doesn't look like water will damage the finished sculptures. We still have to seal them, though, because they will get damaged if they get wet and then go through several cycles of freezing and thawing. I also tested the recipes to see how long we could continue sculpting with the mixtures before they got hard in the bowl, and I had more than three hours of work time in my house at 76° F (24.4 C with both recipes. Warren tells us that we'll have less time to play with it in hotter weather. I bought my 46 lb bag of Portland cement at my local Lowes. Most DIY stores should carry it. I got the normal grey variety. There is white cement, too, but there wasn't any available locally. If you try either of the recipes, please come back and let us know how they turned out.
