Re: [papercreters] Digest Number 2566



Yes, paper in place of sphagnum moss works well for making pots, as this YouTube clip shows:
The moss does tend to decay, leaving a more textured look. Papercrete can be sculpted and carved as well.

Tommy,

In addition to the way Lee discussed, there is a similar technique called tufa or hypertufa.  There are instruction on YouTube.  For instance:

Has anyone seen or made any pots,boulders or garden type containers with papercrete? You go to buy 30 to 50 gallon type growing pots and they are
expensive. Thanks Tommy
