Carmen I've done lots of hypertufa, are you thinking of 3-d figures attached to the pots? Things like lizards? What size? You can adjust the proportions of ingredients to make a firmer mix and mold free form items. You could also use molding plaster, polymer clay etc to make the figures then attach them to the dried pot but not sure what kind of "glue" would last. You might have luck sticking them on while the pot is still wet, using a slurry. I assume you'll be leaving these outside to weather. Papercrete is similar to hypertufa, the dried pots are very light and can be colored using concrete coloring.
Dale, or anyone,
I am messing around trying to make some fun things for the garden. I'm exploring hypertufa.
I'd like to add some free-form critters to the pots I am making. Is there something I can add to cement to make it moldable? Is there another powdered product that adapts to that sort of integrity with the hypertufa compound?
Is this the right group for that?
