[papercreters] papercrete outdoor furniture

Hi all,
So glad to be part of this group!

My question to you all is this: has anybody dabbled in papercrete
outdoor furniture? I am looking at all possibilities, including
papercrete and linseed oil, paper and latex paint, etc. I would like
to start creating lighter weight benches and tables that can withstand
the elements. I used to work in hypertufa, but am now looking to
expand my creativity and "go green" by using junk mail and throwaways
to create outdoor sculptures and furniture. I am pretty much open to
anything. Anybody have any ideas that they would like to share? One
thing I have found is that by adding borax to the papercrete mix it
gives a great cohesiveness, almost like a clay.
Any other ideas out there or anybody try anything like this? Recipes?

Thanks!
Heather
