Greetings to all!
I'm new to the list, having just "discovered" papercrete shortly before the holidays. I've been lurking and soaking up information, enjoying the videos and posts. Since almost everyone is frozen out (it's below 20 degrees F here in Indiana), it seemed like a good time for an introduction and first post. I'm an urban renter (for now) so I'm not ready to try anything too large. I've worked in hand made paper and papier mache off and on for over 25 years now, so papercrete seems like a natural extension. Having a long held interest in papier mache and how it was once used for everything from carriages to furniture to houses and even boats, I can't help but wonder if papercrete couldn't be used in furniture design, especially where weight is an issue. My two daughters are not so many years out of college so I still have vivid memories of lugging heavy furniture up and down many flights of stairs. Sometimes, however, a massive appearing design is just what is required.
Has anyone had experience in any kind of furniture, benches, tables or what not? I did note Sunshine's photo album of small sculptures (very cool).
I was also prompted by recent dome posts to dust off my tattered, cover-less copy of "Dome Book 2", which long ago introduced me to the magic of domes, and the evil of spherical trig.
Regards,
Tony
