This was made from papercrete. Papercrete is a mixture of paper pulp, cement and water. I made a square mold for the base and formed the botanical images by hand. I like the look, but my finished product is not as strong as it should be. I will need to try again and reduce the amount of water that I use. I mounted this on masonite and hung it on my wall. If done correctly, it will be strong without mounting. I hope to make a proper one to use as a back splash for my bathroom sink.
