[papercreters] Re: Not missing in action, just on extended leave.

Welcome to the group.

Whether you build an art project out of papercrete, or perhaps build a small structure, like a garden shed, everyone must start somewhere. The beauty of papercrete is that it can be formed and molded into pretty much any shape you desire, so you can have a lot of fun being creative. No need to build a boring box. Someone with enough artistic skill could probably make a papercrete garden shed shaped like just about anything.

I hope you will keep us advised. There are a lot of great people on this group that would be happy to advise you in all things papercrete.
