@5:34 "Toad-ally unrealistic." 🐸 That comment cannot go without acknowledgement. Perfect! My grandmother raised me & passed away in 2008. She adored frogs, had frog figurines everywhere. This made me think of her, like she was whispering 'hello'. 😊 Thanks. I needed that so much today.
I think my toad won't even notice him. I've been thinking about making a hollow sculpture with a hole in the side so he'll have a place to hide. I don't know if toads actually go inside little houses, though - but it would be fun anyway. 😊
I have been watching you for years...I have learned so much from you...used your videos... shared and shared your Web site. ThAnk you so much for helping so many people find joy in creating.
Love this IdeaI live in Florida. The humidity ruins paper mache here and I love these sculptures you do but it takes forever to dry so this is a great option. Also I've used different types of things and stored them in our shed. I've used monster mud with the drywall compound and r gypsum bugs love to eat it. The paper mache is a favorite of rats and cockroaches so I had all bu th given up making any kind of stuff. I once used a brand of cement sculpting material sold in buckets and it wasnt cheap, but it was awful and not smooth and detail was not good. I was planning on experimenting with Portland cement in the future but I already knew it would either dry too fast or I wouldn't get the smoothness or detail either and also feared cracking all over. I wanted to make some outdoor sculptures and when I saw this, I was so excited. I do a lot of work with resins and epoxy sculpt but they are getting increasingly expensive and you cant store them outside or for long. So this is exciting to me. I had seen other ideas for making things out of plaster then soaking it in resin for a bone like hardness but It would add a lot of expense and waste to mix up enough resin to immerse it . The pva may be the sealer in your mix but in the future if there is a y moisture issues. I would suggest you try mixing a small amount of two part resin and pouring it over your dry unpainted piece. And brushing it on to let it soak into the piece. I say pour it on as resin is mass reactive so it sets up in a cup, pouring it on a d brushing it out gives you more work time. Or you could use clear which takes overnight to set up. If you use just a little it will sink into the cement and drywall pores and further harden a d weatherproof your piece and even give you a smoother surface to paint on. Sometimes the wicking of drywall mud and Portland cement can cause a moisture barrier under paint and cause it to bubble and peel off. I don't know if the pva is enough to fix that or if it will also rehydrate in humid areas with lots of rain. So the resin impregnated piece may help prevent that. Using too much will plastic coat it and thr sun will eventually make that crack. So don't paint a thick layer on top just use enough to soak into the piece all over. Just a tip I learned from the museums using it on plaster bone replicas and they found it increases the strength as well as protects it from elements. Just thought I'd send you this tip. I've loved your detailed art a d videos, I've been enjoying them for years! Thanks for this new recipe. I'm very excited to use it
I like paper cement clay also. Thanks for doing this video. I plan on using the paper cement clay to make an outdoor rock wall at a haunted house I'm helping with.
I would vote for Paper Cement Clay, because it tells the difference to the other recipies. (And I can translate it in a sensible way...😊) Garden Mache sounds more romantic/attraktiv 😅 Looking forward to seeing the finished coloured toad. It's wonderful already 🤩
I remember the little boy sculpture that you tried to weather proof for outside he was so cute. I'm so glad you kept trying the toad is great! I like paper cement clay.
Thanks. The little boy sculpture was 'real' concrete, except for a variation for the face, and he is still out in the garden. The only damage is in the gloves - they were actual gloves that I dipped in a concrete slurry, and it ate through the fabric. I keep thinking I'll fix it, but I still haven't done it. I still haven't painted him, after all these years. Thanks for the vote, too! 😊
Oo - that sounds like fun! I hope you make it - and if you do, remember to show it off on my blog here: www.ultimatepapermache.com/daily-sculptors-group-page
Very informative video! I have done some experimentation with a Titebond III wood glue and Durham's rock hard putty for a coating on pink sheet foam insulation. I carve duck decoys from this foam and would like to find a durable coating that can get wet and take abuse without falling apart. I found that using a single ply of regular paper towel added a lot of strength to the wood glue/rock hard putty coating. I brushed on a thin layer, then sprayed the paper towel with some water to dampen it, then layed it on the coating and put another thin layer of coating down on top. This coating is very thin and hard when dry and does not mask detail underneath. The issue I found was the coating softens a bit when it is humid, so not ideal for durability. I never got to the point of testing that coating in water, but I concluded that the wood glue was the component that was absorbing water because the same mix made with water only remained hard after drying, but I think the issue I had was this water only mix set up to quickly to work with (it's been a couple years since doing these tests and haven't returned to more testing since). I'm wondering if you have tried this mixture with paper as well? I had an idea to use non-woven synthetic fabric (like drier sheet material) thinking it would not absorb water and soften, but I believe I had the same result with that material (slightly softened from humidity). I'm thinking this mix you use here would work well for my method if it doesn't soften when exposed to moisture. Any thoughts on this? Any feedback is appreciated!
I like paper cement clay I think. Like you said, it describes accurately exactly what it is and still sounds cool. You made my day again with your kind manner and nature!
This is awesome thank you! My mother LOVES frogs/toads and I'm thinking of making her something like this for her garden. I'll make one for my garden too to see how it holds up over time. 😁
Congratulations on your outdoor clay recipe! I see that I am very late to this party (March of 2023 vs. Summer or Fall of 2022), but I had a mask idea: Have considered masks that represent endangered species? Specifically what comes to my mind is the Kakapo, the flightless parrot of New Zealand. In my opinion, the kakapo face closely resembles a common parakeet face, although the bird is the size of cat. It is round, green, and seems to have a sweet disposition. If healthy, it can live 90 years! Anyway, thank you for your generosity in sharing your paper mâché journey with us!
Wonderful! Your toad is lovely and the new recipe seems super! Of your three choices I like Garden Mache. Though your video title caught my attention. Weatherproof Mache says it all for me!
Well that is cool! I’ll have to give this a try, as those outdoor critters cost so much. Who doesn’t like when someone is impressed by that fact you made that yourself.
hes coming out so cute so far! a cool 'texture stamper' I've used before is those wooden tenderizing mallets,(u know the ones with the flattened spikes u smack meat with),with plastic wrap over it,just no tenderizing future toads. 😄lol ..thanks for all the awesome creative things you share💖🐸
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create this amazing and gorgeous frog. Johnny I can’t find the recipe for this clay? I’m definitely going to try this out. I’m really really looking forward to seeing what you do with the frog. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
The written recipe for the paper cement clay is here (I used the one with joint compound for the toad) www.ultimatepapermache.com/weatherproof-paper-mache-clay
I love your videos. I want to make some large boulders for an outside garden. I really like the recipes you have devised. I'm 74 and need materials that aren't too heavy and overwhelming to work with. Thank You!
You're welcome. I have the same problem (maybe because I'm the same age... ). Even the smallest bag of Portland cement is a little heavy for me, but I managed it. It's also possible to buy much smaller bags of it online, although the per-pound cost is higher. Have fun making your boulders!
This is a year old so maybe you've done/seen this already, but since you mention the paper clay not sticking well to wire, I've seen other types of sculptors wrap additional very thin wire around the thicker wire for the clay to grab better. Just in case that may be handy to try at some point!
I putz around with cement sculpture and I was told you never put cement over any type of aluminum as the wet cement will cause the aluminum to corrode and eventually crack the concrete ...do you know if this holds true with this 'hybrid' cement mix? I LOVE your books and videos and get your newsletter as well!
In outdoor sculpture you might need to have a small hole to permit air to move in and out of a sealed volume. This is because changing temperatures can inflate and deflate the sculpture, weakening it. This might be relevant to your garden toad.
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create this amazing and awesome frog. You are so very very talented and clever too. I’m going to have a try of this. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Hi, Ive been using Paper/cement and clay for years building Ferro-Cement sculptures and i found that newsprint makes a sometimes awesome cementitious product in that it cures properly into an almost bullet proof finish. I generally go by instinct in my formulaes but an average would be 25% paper to 10% clay. However, this mix (owing to life size sculptures) is subject to cracking if too much shock is applied but After watching a few of these presentations I think this could be remedied with the inclusion of Varnish to work in conjunction with a water based resin or glue. So thanks for your dedication and helpful vids, much appreciate any modelling artform and your works look great, Cheers
Awesome video! Any feedback from people in Florida using this outdoors?🙏🤞 also, can you tell us please about how thick of a coating of the material did it end up being on the toad? Thanks in advance.!!
I used less than 1/4" layer on the toad. The crumpled foil helps to reinforce it, so it seems plenty strong enough. I can't remember if anyone from Florida has checked in or not. You can see the posts that people have submitted to my site by using "paper cement clay" in the search bar here: www.ultimatepapermache.com/ And I just posted an update here: th-cam.com/video/FFJz28S1JoU/w-d-xo.html
your such an amazing person your art is always wonderful, and listening to you is very interesting, have you done any live art classes? would love to watch
I like the Garden Mache’ name. I just found your channel and am so blessed to have. I love to use the acrylic or resin to make jewelry and it’s wonderful for sealing those pieces. I am wondering if it would be a good sealant for those little toes? The UV type is immediate hardening and they would be extremely resilient with that on them. The only drawback is that it also makes everything it’s applied to very shiny. But Toads have wet looking feet anyhow. Lol. Just a suggestion. I’m going to really enjoy watching you work. You have much more energy that I do but maybe it will inspire me to get busier. Thank you so much for all your inspiration. 🤟🏼🤍
I really love this! Thank you for sharing beautiful work. I have been reading all sorts of stuff because I want to make some Halloween outdoor things but I didn’t want them to be extremely heavy so I can put them up in my shed. So I want to try making these pumpkin sculptures out of a concrete tube form and use this waterproof paper mache. A few questions please if I were to seal the concrete tubing with dry lock paint then add the waterproof mache to the tube would that work? Also how heavy did this weatherproof mache get? I live in Houston Texas so it’s extremely humid and hot hear. Hope this works can’t wait to try! Thank you.
Hi Patricia. This toad was made using an experimental recipe, which is basically the original paper mache clay with cement replacing the flour. Cement is not waterproof, but we're hoping that if we seal the sculptures well, they won't be damaged by rain. But since this is the very first thing I've ever made that will go outside, using this recipe, I have no way of knowing if your idea will work. The drylock might seal the tube, but the paper cement clay needs to be sealed, too - and it really is experimental. Did you see my pumpkin video, using plaster cloth and waterproof grout? That method has been tested, so you might want to consider making your pumpkins that way. You can find that video here: th-cam.com/video/Cuhp7yrbahg/w-d-xo.html
I'm interested in using papier mache on different project for my son. This has quickly become a favorite channel, always glad to see new videos. 76 degrees???? Sadly I'm in Dallas. :(
Yes, but that was inside the house, not outside. It's been in the 90s, with humidity in the 90s, too. But not as hot as Dallas. I hope you're staying cool, and the electricity stays on for you. What kind of project are you working on?
I think the grey and white kinds are basically the same, but I'm not completely sure about that. Our local stores don't carry white cement so I can't test it. I look forward to seeing how your experiment comes out. 😊
Can't wait to see the toad and leaf finished. How about "papercrete" or "outdoor papercrete" or "papercrete mache" or "outdoor papercrete" for your new mixture?
Hi Raymond. I was hoping to use papercrete in the name for this stuff, but I've been told it's an official name of a particular patented product, so we decided not to use it. I think paper cement clay is winning the vote so far. 😊
You asked for ideas for your next project... I’d love to see two driveway entrance lions , like the classic thing you would see either side of a Mannor house driveway in England?
I have all of your books and have been following you on youtube many years...Once again you have inspired me...Do you think this would work as a planter if I put drainage holes?
I really don't know - even with the hole, the damp soil would be next to the planter. We would need to do some experiments to see if it would hold up to the constant moisture. If you try it (do just a small one 😊) please let us know how it turns out.

That comment cannot go without acknowledgement. Perfect!
My grandmother raised me & passed away in 2008. She adored frogs, had frog figurines everywhere. This made me think of her, like she was whispering 'hello'. 😊
Thanks. I needed that so much today.
It sounds like your grandma was an interesting lady. 😊
I have so many ideas but just can't get past actually making my own clay. I will try this weekend and I'll let you know how it turns out
Have fun! 😊
Did you try?
You could apply a thin layer of oil on the mold so that it lifts better
Paper cement clay for sure!
😊
How FUN!! thank you for such a great video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 …and I love your toad❤️
Thanks! 😊
This is a new art I'm visiting. Have not tried it yet. You are a joy to watch and listen to.
I like, "paper cement clay". Thank you for your video tutorials!
😊 I'm glad you like the videos.
Love this Garden mache!!!! Thank you for sharing!!
😊
Paper cement clay because it is what it is lol The toad is so cute! I hope he won't scare your garden road ☺️
I think my toad won't even notice him. I've been thinking about making a hollow sculpture with a hole in the side so he'll have a place to hide. I don't know if toads actually go inside little houses, though - but it would be fun anyway. 😊
@@UltimatePaperMache That would be adorable ❤️
Paper cement clay. Thank you so much! I love cats, so my vote is for either a curled up sleeping putting or a sitting kitty with sass! Lol.
Great idea! I haven't made a 3D pattern for a whole animal yet, but it would be an interesting challenge. And thanks for the vote. 😊
Paper cement clay....tells exactly what it is. Gotta try this.

Do you have a domesticated cst video, n that little boy sculpture video...I tried to look up but couldnt find...thanks!
PaperCrete is what I'd call it. If I used it I would try to keep it inside at winter, tiny weather. Here in Oregon I think the would be smart.
I'm excited to see your idea for a large garden rabbit. I would like to try to make the march hair from Alice and Wonderland.
Oo - that sounds like fun! I hope you make it - and if you do, remember to show it off on my blog here: www.ultimatepapermache.com/daily-sculptors-group-page
Ohh Alice would be fun to make hmmm!=8)
Love your video's......Looking forward to seeing Toadie finished.....My vote is for for "Paper Cement Clay" ...thank you
Very informative video! I have done some experimentation with a Titebond III wood glue and Durham's rock hard putty for a coating on pink sheet foam insulation.

I love the toad. I am excited to try this. Thank you so much and God Bless. I was thinking, Garden sculpting clay. But Garden Mache is good.
We had a vote, and paper cement clay won - but garden mache works, too. 😊
Paper Cement Clay. Yeah, I like it :)
Thanks, Christine. 😊
That turned out so nice!
I'm glad you like him. I can't wait to see how it looks after it's painted. 😊
Years ago, I made a bunch of texture stamps with polymer clay. I have used them a lot.
Do you them with ceramic projects?
@@UltimatePaperMache they are baked polymer, so you can use them on any clay. You can wash them.
hes coming out so cute so far! a cool 'texture stamper' I've used before is those wooden tenderizing mallets,(u know the ones with the flattened spikes u smack meat with),with plastic wrap over it,just no tenderizing future toads. 😄lol ..thanks for all the awesome creative things you share💖🐸
What a great idea! Thanks for the tip. 😊
I think I will try this with thinset as I live in a tiny apt and don’t have room for a 50 lb bag of cement
Great idea! Thinset is mostly Portland cement, so it should work. Let us know how it turns out! 😊
Your sculpture can actually float if sealed with the products we have nowadays. Fantastic!!!!
Hi Kris, how are you doing?
Q legal vou tentar fazer um dinossauro pq já faço de cimento mas uso isopor por baixo achei pouco pesado .Lindos seus trabalhos parabéns.

In outdoor sculpture you might need to have a small hole to permit air to move in and out of a sealed volume. This is because changing temperatures can inflate and deflate the sculpture, weakening it. This might be relevant to your garden toad.
Interesting idea - I hadn't thought of that. But too late now... We'll have to wait and see how he does. So far, so good.

Your toad is darling and your garden is lovely♥️ We've made texture tools from polymer clay for stamping, it also works great!
Do you use the stamps for ceramic clay?
Hi, Ive been using Paper/cement and clay for years building Ferro-Cement sculptures and i found that newsprint makes a sometimes awesome cementitious product in that it cures properly into an almost bullet proof finish. I generally go by instinct in my formulaes but an average would be 25% paper to 10% clay. However, this mix (owing to life size sculptures) is subject to cracking if too much shock is applied but After watching a few of these presentations I think this could be remedied with the inclusion of Varnish to work in conjunction with a water based resin or glue.

Interesting ideas! I have to admit that concrete and cement are still mysteries to me, so I stick with small projects. 😊
The frog needs a wife and children for outside… maybe you could make him a family for your next project?🥰
Maybe - but not until next spring, when we know for sure if he survived the winter. 😊
Awesome video! Any feedback from people in Florida using this outdoors?🙏🤞 also, can you tell us please about how thick of a coating of the material did it end up being on the toad? Thanks in advance.!!

The only drawback is that it also makes everything it’s applied to very shiny. But Toads have wet looking feet anyhow. Lol. Just a suggestion. I’m going to really enjoy watching you work. You have much more energy that I do but maybe it will inspire me to get busier. Thank you so much for all your inspiration. 🤟🏼🤍
I love these tutorials. LUV YA! Carla
😊
Thank you so much!! I asked about the outside durability for these projects on one of your other videos. Glad I found this one!!
Amazing!!! Great work!
Thanks, Pablo. 😊
I really like Paper Cement Clay .
Thanks. That's the one that 'won' the vote, so it looks like we'll be calling it Paper Cement Clay from now on. 😊
Wow, you're looks beautiful!
Thank you so much. 😊
I really love this! Thank you for sharing beautiful work. I have been reading all sorts of stuff because I want to make some Halloween outdoor things but I didn’t want them to be extremely heavy so I can put them up in my shed. So I want to try making these pumpkin sculptures out of a concrete tube form and use this waterproof paper mache. A few questions please if I were to seal the concrete tubing with dry lock paint then add the waterproof mache to the tube would that work? Also how heavy did this weatherproof mache get? I live in Houston Texas so it’s extremely humid and hot hear. Hope this works can’t wait to try! Thank you.
Hi Patricia. This toad was made using an experimental recipe, which is basically the original paper mache clay with cement replacing the flour. Cement is not waterproof, but we're hoping that if we seal the sculptures well, they won't be damaged by rain. But since this is the very first thing I've ever made that will go outside, using this recipe, I have no way of knowing if your idea will work. The drylock might seal the tube, but the paper cement clay needs to be sealed, too - and it really is experimental. Did you see my pumpkin video, using plaster cloth and waterproof grout? That method has been tested, so you might want to consider making your pumpkins that way. You can find that video here: th-cam.com/video/Cuhp7yrbahg/w-d-xo.html
@@UltimatePaperMache thank you SO MUCH!!!! I’ll be keeping up with your videos will look into the pumpkin!
I'm interested in using papier mache on different project for my son. This has quickly become a favorite channel, always glad to see new videos.
76 degrees???? Sadly I'm in Dallas. :(
Yes, but that was inside the house, not outside. It's been in the 90s, with humidity in the 90s, too. But not as hot as Dallas. I hope you're staying cool, and the electricity stays on for you.
What kind of project are you working on?
Eu amo tudo isso, eu amo todas suas criações ♥️ Deus abençoe sua vida saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷🙏🏼♥️
😊

Fantastic 🐸. Fantástico sapo 🇵🇹
I really like this and I want an advise on how to do it
I wonder if white cement would work the same? When I get a chance to get some I'll try it out and let you know.☺
I think the grey and white kinds are basically the same, but I'm not completely sure about that. Our local stores don't carry white cement so I can't test it. I look forward to seeing how your experiment comes out. 😊
Paper cement clay makes the most sense. 👍
FANTASTIQUE ❤❤❤

Desde Colombia adoro tus trabajos
Can't wait to see the toad and leaf finished.
How about "papercrete" or "outdoor papercrete" or "papercrete mache" or "outdoor papercrete" for your new mixture?
Hi Raymond. I was hoping to use papercrete in the name for this stuff, but I've been told it's an official name of a particular patented product, so we decided not to use it. I think paper cement clay is winning the vote so far. 😊
@@UltimatePaperMache That's sound great!
You asked for ideas for your next project... I’d love to see two driveway entrance lions , like the classic thing you would see either side of a Mannor house driveway in England?
Interesting! I haven't been to England, but one of my neighbors has a set of lions. I'll put it on my list. 😊
Rainy Day clay 😉♥️
😊
I'm not sure if you have already chosen a name, but I like Paper Cement Clay :)
Thanks, Krista - we did choose a name, and that's the one we picked! Thanks. 😊
love the high effort in these videos, you should do a tour of your set up and collection of sculptures (assuming you haven't already)!
Maybe one day!
Paper cement clay = BEST NAME = Continuity with clay + specific modification. Congratulations from Chicago, IL USA
Thanks for the vote! This is the name that has the most votes so far, so I think it's a winner. 😊
Waterproof paperclay is a nice short one as well
😊
That’s for posting Jonni ! 😀😀😀
You're welcome. 😊
I have all of your books and have been following you on youtube many years...Once again you have inspired me...Do you think this would work as a planter if I put drainage holes?
I really don't know - even with the hole, the damp soil would be next to the planter. We would need to do some experiments to see if it would hold up to the constant moisture. If you try it (do just a small one 😊) please let us know how it turns out.
I agree with you on paper cement clay.
Olha aqui a casa do leão 312 direto do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 passando para prestigiar o seu trabalho minha amiga, belíssimo o Sapo 👏👏 fabrico um aqui parecido com esse 👏👏👏 que Deus te abençoe sempre 🙏🙏 Tmj 🙏🙏
