Building material for forming an architectural surface covering and method for producing the same

A building material for forming a three dimensional architectural surface covering formed by a process consisting essentially of the steps:

• a) selecting a first paper material;
• b) combining said paper material in step a) exclusively with water to form a first pH-neutral admixture;
• c) blending said first admixture produced in step b);
• d) straining said blended admixture produced in step c);
• e) combining said strained admixture produced in step d) with a bonding agent to form a second admixture, wherein the second admixture will comprise 1-14 parts by weight of the blended admixture produced in step c) and 1.5-3.5 parts by weight of said bonding agent;
• f) mixing said second admixture in step e) to form a first mash;
• g) repeating steps a) through f) with a second paper material, wherein the second paper material is dissimilar in color to the first paper material, to form a second mash;
• h) combining the first mash produced in step f) with the second mash produced in step g) to produce a combined mash;
• i) forming said combined mash produced in step h) into said three dimensional sculpture, wherein the three dimensional sculpture is formed upon a substrate selected from the group consisting of plywood, hardboard, and drywall;
• and
• j) drying said combined mash while formed as said three dimensional sculpture.
