Leaf Casting Made With Weatherproof Paper Mache Clay
I made this leaf casting because I'm still experimenting with the new recipe for a weatherproof paper mache clay. In the last video I showed you some small sample pieces I made, just to see what would happen with this new cement-based material if I left it sitting in water. The results looked promising, so now I'm making a sculpture that will be left in the garden all summer and winter, to see if it survives.
The leaf was made because I'm also making a toad, and it needs a base to keep me from breaking him when I move it around. He'll show up in the next video.
I want to thank everyone who made comments and suggestions on the last video, and I know there will be some great ideas in the comments on this video, too. I've learned so much from reading all your thoughts and idea, so keep them coming!

And I'd really like to hear some ideas for a new name for this stuff! Something shorter, and easier to say. 😊 (EDIT - The vote is in and we now have a name for it - Paper Cement Clay. 😊 )
