So, I started with soaking a new batch of paper shreds and I was going to try the same method of making paper clay as I did before India, but then I realized I would probably have a better chance with trying a whole new recipe altogether. I found this one from Tree Craft Studio online which uses glue, oil, salt, vinegar, baking powder, and cornstarch as opposed to just flour like the last recipe did. I started following the instructions until I realized that I didn't have enough glue, so I went out and bought some and then continued. I followed the instructions to a T and I'm still left with a drippy glue with bits of paper in it as opposed to a malleable clay. I don't know what to do! It feels like everybody on the internet is able to make paper clay but me :( I'm currently soaking more paper in hot water to blend and mix into my soupy glue (even though I already put in more than double of what was recommended), but I think I need to come up with a plan in case this whole paper clay thing doesn't end up working. Maybe I can try and make a simple shape out of wire mesh and try and coat it with previously mentioned soupy mixture and see if that holds. While this process has been really frustrating since its taken a lot of trial and error, I really enjoy sculpture so I kind of want to continue along these lines into the school year because I really want to see my original project idea come to creation. process picturesyoutube video
