Update for Paper Cement Clay - Experimental Outdoor Paper Mache Clay

The toad I made with paper cement clay back in July has now been outside for four months. He's been rained on and now he's had a few days of snow in 10°F weather, so it's time to check up on him and see how he's doing.

Right now he's sitting on a concrete bench by my front door so I can keep an eye on him, even when we get a lot more snow. So far, he's doing fine. The sealer I used has not cracked or yellowed in the sun, and the toad's spots are still the same color they were when I finished him. No softness or damage to the paper cement clay either, and that's really promising. If he's still doing this well in the spring, we can stop calling the paper cement clay an experimental recipe, and go ahead and make our outside sculptures with confidence.
