I'd be interested in learning more myself. I'd also be especially
interested in insights about using papercrete for decorative
achitectural details. It seems to me that a non-artistic schmoe like
me might be able to steal some of azglassblaster's technques used to
create a mold of an alpaca. I might be able to create fancy crown
moldings and other detail work.
Some of those old plastering techniques are almost a lost art. While
I'm sure not every technique would work with papercrete, I bet a lot
of those old-school ideas could be adapted.
