@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.

The frog needs a wife and children for outside… maybe you could make him a family for your next project?🥰

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.

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!

I like the Garden Mache', so very clever!

I like "Paper Cement 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!

This is a new art I'm visiting. Have not tried it yet. You are a joy to watch and listen to.

Astounding. Can't wait to try.

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'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.

Yea paper cement clay rolls off the tongue really well, that's my vote

Great toad. Hope it survives the year. I vote for paper cement clay. How about going west and making a bison

Love this Garden mache!!!! Thank you for sharing!!

You could apply a thin layer of oil on the mold so that it lifts better

Paper cement clay for sure!

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!

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.

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 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.

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

Paper cement clay....tells exactly what it is. Gotta try this.

Hi Jonni ! I really like Paper Cement Clay . Thanks for sharing with us I can’t wait to try this out !!

Your videos are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your findings with us and your sculptures are wonderful!

I like, "paper cement clay". Thank you for your video tutorials!

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.

Thank you so much!! I asked about the outside durability for these projects on one of your other videos. Glad I found this one!!

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

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!

How FUN!! thank you for such a great video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 …and I love your toad❤️

That turned out so nice!

I just picked up a bag of Portland cement. I cant wait to give this recipe a try.

I love your work! Good luck and inspiration.

I like Paper-mâché cement , I can’t wait to see the results !

Paper Cement Clay as that more reflects what it is. Mask idea - Quokka (Australian animal) 😘

I am so pumped to try this out! 😊 You are so lovely to spend time learning from ❤thank you for sharing all of this great content

I enjoy these videos so much. I like how you explain your process. Thank you

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💖🐸

You are so TALENTED!! Outdoor Mache

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.

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.

Amazing!!! Great work!

I love these tutorials. LUV YA! Carla

Paper Cement Clay. Yeah, I like it :)

You are too cute 🥰🥰🥰 thank you for all your videos and your patience! Thank you for all the info and all the details! You are the best!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Such a cute Toad 🐸! I really like Paper Cement Clay, it perfectly describes what it is in 3 words.

I really like the frog on the lily pad. I new it would be awesome if you made it. Thank you so much for sharing.

❤its a lovely little frog well done you xxx

I love the texture stamp you made. I've also seen people make a textured roller with polymer clay using the same technique.

great video 👍 I can't wait to try this

Your sculpture can actually float if sealed with the products we have nowadays. Fantastic!!!!

Your work is perfect! Congrats from Brazil!

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!

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!

Love your video's......Looking forward to seeing Toadie finished.....My vote is for for "Paper Cement Clay" ...thank you

That looks so good!

Desde Colombia adoro tus trabajos

Fantastic 🐸. Fantástico sapo 🇵🇹

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)!

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. 😁

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.

This was very useful. Thanks.

that looks amazing

Your toad is darling and your garden is lovely♥️ We've made texture tools from polymer clay for stamping, it also works great!

Wow, you're looks beautiful!

I agree with you on paper cement clay.

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. 🤟🏼🤍

את מקסימה עם רמת נתינה מאוד גבוהה ישר כוח תודה לך

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

Waterproof clay!!!!! Very interesting!!!! Anyone of the names would be okay!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!! 🤔👍😎🤘

That's awesome!

Stunning 🤩

Garden mache sounds good

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

Paper cement clay = BEST NAME = Continuity with clay + specific modification. Congratulations from Chicago, IL USA

FANTASTIQUE ❤❤❤

Everytime I see one of your videos I stop by to leave a like :)

Eu amo tudo isso, eu amo todas suas criações ♥️ Deus abençoe sua vida saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷🙏🏼♥️

I should be outdoors digging up my garden... ( Sigh). I am so addicted to watching how you do your wonderful art! Girl you rock .

So as I’m watching this a 4th. Time I’m also doing laundry,…wash ,..dry ,..next load ,.. so I’m cleaning out lent trap and getting ready to throw it away,..I’m like ,..! LENT CEMENT!!:,!!! Instead of paper use lent from your dryer vent! ,….seriously this could be the next trend!! Seriously,…concrete lint Jonni ,..Halloween is coming up. I’d love ❤️ you to be the queen of HALLOWEEN this year ,..it would seriously raise your views and get more subscribed. Just sayin. Jonni ,..your beautiful!!

Toadally realistic IMO ❤❤😊

I really like Paper Cement Clay .

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!

Seus trabalhos são esplêndidos viva você..

Years ago, I made a bunch of texture stamps with polymer clay. I have used them a lot.

That’s for posting Jonni ! 😀😀😀

Jonni is so cute!

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. :(

Waterproof paperclay is a nice short one as well

Q legal vou tentar fazer um dinossauro pq já faço de cimento mas uso isopor por baixo achei pouco pesado .Lindos seus trabalhos parabéns.

Love junni i v like your Best clay Art plz keep it up thank you dear

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?

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

Woderfulll ilove it¡¡best regards from Patagonia Chile

Paper cement clay makes the most sense. 👍

He’s wonderful❣️👍

You are so amazing!!!!

I really like this and I want an advise on how to do it

Rainy Day clay 😉♥️
