paper clay is super easy... i used to make it with toliet paper.. though that get expensive after awhile .. the best thing i have found it green blown in insulation, at home depot its 10$ for a huge bag!!! i make a ton and have had the bag of insulation for almost a year!!! i still boil it , because it seams to mix easier,but some times i just soak it in water for a little while... and the key is a heavy duty drill with a beater thingy?? i keep scrapes of clay in a 10 gallon bucket full of water, when its time to make clay , i do a 40-60% split some times more sometimes less.. theres really no wrong or right....usually always more clay than paper...( use a lot of water!! it will mix easyer!!!, you will dry it out, if to much water it will take longer to dry but no big deal! unless your in a hurry! haha)..use mixer and mix up really good let sit...or not! ha.. and then dry on a plaster bat untill its not sticky...if it gets to dry just put back into bucket and re-mix...no biggy... just put into bags until you need it...i make tons of stuff with it.. its very strong and the best is if the item your working on drys you can just attach to it, never have to worry about leather hard or whatever...it can stink or mold... though nothing to worry about unless your alergic to that then this might not be the venue for you... some people put bleach and other things in it... i never worry about it!! it has never been a problem!!!
