[@BowMuma]

@@VennasNatureI am in Wisconsin so we can make real snowmen most of the season (usually) but I like this one way better! I found one of your other smaller and simpler snowmen, that I have already collected all my supplies for, that I’m going to try first but I will for sure show you how it turns out!!

[@VennasNature]

This is amazing! You truly are an artist. I really like the simplicity of the concrete clay. I’m wondering if it would work the chickens.

[@VennasNature]

Hello Stephanie, well you can always experiment and let me know how it goes. Thank you for viewing and for your questions and kind words Let me know how it goes 😊

[@agostinosangel]

Oh I love this! Your videos are so fun and inspiring to me 😃 Greetings from Devon, UK

[@VennasNature]

Hello Ayesha from Devon😊 I lived in Kettering as an infant😊 Thank you for viewing😊 Will you be making this project?

[@agostinosangel]

@@VennasNature I am going to experiment with something smaller first 🙂 I usually sculpt with air dry clay and also wild clay from my garden. Cement/mortar is a new concept to me but I'm excited to try it!

[@VennasNature]

@@agostinosangel I do cement so my art can be outside. My home is too small for art so my yard is my gallery😊 I hope you will share with me how it goes. See me on Instagram and you can private message me😊

[@agostinosangel]

@@VennasNature that's what I'm hoping to do...is do some pieces for outside 😃 I'm running out of space indoors for all my pieces. 🙈 I am thoroughly enjoying your channel and I've learnt so much from your videos. So thank you 😃

@@VennasNature oh he's definitely on my list to make!!! 😁 I'm in San Antonio, Texas

[@sangueguerriero9538]

Thank you so much for sharing with us all these beautiful, wonderful projects 🙏😍💕. Im so fascinated. Im planning on making a big sculpture for the outdoors. Have you ever made something big in size for the outdoors? Coukd this method be used? Does this method last for many years outdoors? (Hold up) I would love to know by your experience 🙏. Thank you

[@VennasNature]

@@sangueguerriero9538 Yes I have made fountains and gnomes about 3 ft tall. If they are kept out of extreme weather . Especially freezing weather they will last. so far mine have lasted 4 yrs. I suggest keep them out of direct sprinklers, out of direct afternoon sun and either cover with plastic tarp or bring indoors in the winter. cement will deteriorate like your cement sidewalks and roads when subjected to harsh weather and constant water and sun. I hope this helps have fun with it😁👍

[@Valerieknitterhands]

So adorable

Love, love, love! Thanks for showing the process and details. Have you thought about making a video for the chicken? Others that I have seen do not share detailed information like you do.

Hello Carol. You mean the fat chicken? I do have a video here to make him kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYO3qWSXmNVnmM0

Amazing

[@VennasNature]

Well thank you. Hello Samantha, thank you for viewing and your kind comment😁 He was fun to make. I hope he sells at my art show but I will miss him. I may need to make another one😊

[@nancygraham2087]

I love how creative you are. Do you have any newer videos?

[@VennasNature]

Hello Nancy thank you for viewing. We have had a big life change here in our 60s we just took on raising out 8 yr old grandson. He takes quite a bit of time and I still work full time. I hope to send out a couple videos I am trying to get time to edit. I have not been in my workshop for the 11 weeks he has been with us. I hope one day when he is settled to get back into my art. Have a great day.😁

[@nancygraham2087]

Thank you for replying. I hope everything goes well for you. I’m sending good wishes your way.

[@cleobanks7671]

This is so cute!! Do you sell your creations on any of the selling platforms, etsy, etc. I live in Phoenix and am hoping to start selling some of my stuff, but there are so many platforms out there it's hard to decide which ones are better. ???

[@VennasNature]

Cleo please find me on my Instagram and private message me I am hosting an art sale in November. Yes I sell but not for shipping that's too pricey for folks my customers are local 😊 message me

[@loisrichard6988]

I tried the1cup plaster of Paris with the 1/4cup glue the glue was Elmer’s white washable glue but it won’t stay soft and pliable....is there a certain glue u use

[@VennasNature]

Hello Lois😊 The plaster and glue clay will only be workable for 10 minutes we gotta work fast. My next favorite clay I make is this one. It won't last to the next day however it will be workable if you keep it in a plastic bag and knead it once in a while for almost an hour. Both the plaster clay and the papercrete clay I make small amounts at a time. Here is the papercrete clay Papercrete Recipe 1 c damp toilet paper pulp squeeze out most of the water 1/4 c white glue 1/2 c versabond thinset 1/2 cup portland cement Mix together to the consistency you want thinner for spreading stiffer for modeling I have many projects on my KZbin site using the papercrete clay 😊 Have fun. I hope this helps😊

[@joanrowland3697]

Don’t your hands hurt after being in cement that long?

[@VennasNature]

They can get dried out if I don't apply lotion each time I wash my hands in between steps. No, I have not had any problems otherwise. I do wear gloves when I am mixing large batches of Hypertufa. I suggest wearing gloves if you have sensitive skin or concerns.

[@sislertx]

Did i post to u what made my mix turn rubbery...IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE PAPER!!!!! BEWARE IF U EXPERIENCE IT...MIX A TAD OF THE GLUE WITH THE PAPER..I MADE HUGE AMOUNTS AND THEY WERE RUINED

[@VennasNature]

oh dear. I use toilet paper. I have not had that problem😳

[@paulinehunt4069]

Hate, no sound. Hope that is not new feature to videos. Too many recipies for projects. Now mortar mix. A bag of Portland will last me a lifetime. Reason not using cemental? I am going to dip real ski cap in cement for hat and real mittens the same way. Love your cap though. It makes me happy when YOU love your work. That in itself is inspiring. Keep em coming!
