Kelly Thank you for your comment and for viewing. I hope you find the videos useful in your creating journey. Please let me know if you have questions and if you have tips for me.😊
The papercrete I use for some projects probably would not hold up as a fountain. If you use cement such as the cemental or fast setting mortar mix, absolutely you can make fountains. I have made a few fountains. You are right there are endless possibilities. I am making a frog prince fountain right now for a customer. I am also making Faux sandstone fountains for another customer. I am painting the frog prince. I do feel the paint will hold up. I am using outdoor paints. The painted items I have created for my yard are doing well. If you are not using paint use a sealer I am using a penetrating sealer like Miracle Sealants 511 Impregnator clear sealer and finish. But there are many out there. See more ideas on my instagram instagram.com/vennasnature I am making new projects every week. I just can't edit the videos fast enough. But I'm working on them. Thank you for your comment and for subscribing and for your interest my goal is to inspire people to create and have fun. I would be totally excited to see what you create😊.
What a cute lil' frog! It looks like Shapecrete is no longer in stock, but do you think some regular Portland Cement with sand, fibers, and admix added would work as well? (well, I could try it and let you know, haha). Also, did you wait for the concrete to fully cure before painting? And did you use any sealants? (Like concrete sealer before painting, or a paint varnish after painting?) Thanks so much for sharing!
yes I believe si. A fine sand. I also use papercrete for some of my sculptures. See my papercrete video. Thank you for your comment and question. Let me know how it goes😊
@@VennasNature Thanks! I've read that papercrete aborbs a lot of moisture, but your first hand experience has shown it to be quite durable outdoors! Well, at least for 5 years. :) I wonder if your paint layers add some weathering protection. I live in the rainy Pacific Northwest, so I need to make sure my creations can stand up to a lot of moisture!
@@RebeccaJensenRunBosco Yes and if you use a good sealer. You would want to keep any concrete art out of extreme weather snow and ice and direct 115 degree sun.
I learned after this video shapecrete is no longer available. I bought mine years ago and still have a bucket. I am sorry. That is why I am trying to find nice cement clay recipes.

Quedó bonita.
I would love to see you do a gargoyle
Very cute!
Thank you😊
Love this project. Do you think these materials (without paint) hold up in a fountain? The possibilities are endless!

I can’t find shapecrete….only SculptCrete. Where do you find it?
