[papercreters] Rice Mortar



I've been following the posts for over a year, due to an artistic interest in papercrete.  Thought I would mention that last week USA Today ran a small bullet article on rice mortar in China.  It apparently lasts for centuries and remains the best mortar for restoring their ancient structures.  I've played around with flour and wheat gluten as a binding agent for sculpture, but hadn't tried rice.  Here is a slightly longer version of the article:  http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2523896/posts
