Papercrete Operation



Big Bag O' Shredded Paper

More Paper!

Add Water and Zip it up!

Once it's all chewed up, it's ready for the next step...









Our Friend, Mr. Portland C. Ment

Don't Inhale.

Paper Drained of Water



Mix it up!






Molds are Ready

Pack in the Mix

Let 'em Set up Overnight


Remove From the Molds and You've Got Brix!

This process works for whatever size or shape of object you want, but right now we're concentrating on getting a bunch of bricks made.  I've also made a few small domes and fake rocks as well so far.  I've been experimenting with mixtures / recipes and different types of armatures for sculpture and building as well.
