I have been lurking for a while but = that awesome=20 wedding castle has prompted me to write.

I would like to see pictures of = sculpting done with=20 papercrete. I have not started experimenting but I have acquired a = cement=20 mixer and will probably get started as soon as the weather lets up a=20 little.

I'm interested in papercrete as a = building material=20 but also as a medium to express some of my zany artistic=20 expressions.

One point(of many) of confusion for me = is the best=20 formula to use. Ideally I would like my work to be weather proof = and fire=20 proof. That is, can it even be made fireproof?

I was=20 thinking maybe of a plaster of paris mold that could be used a few = times. =20 Also what could be used as a parting agent?

Any suggestions = appreciated.
