Plastering

I love the curves and contrasts of these walls.
The first coat of plaster seems to highlight both.

This is the first layer of plaster on our earth bricks. There is minimal cracking so we will use a fine sieve for the next layer and that may be our last.

Our mix for this layer is;
-4 parts clay.
-1 part aggregate; 1 part sand, 1 part pumice, 1 part fine pummice
-3 parts straw

All put through a 1/4 inch sieve pre-mixing.
