| "After
the original cob construction has dried it is smoothed with a cover of
plaster uniquely made from all natural materials including oatmeal, oat
bran, golden flax seeds, sand, clay slip and psyllium seed.
"Different colors
of plaster are created along the walls and then fragments of tile implanted
to form mosaics....the almost infinite flow of creative ideas can make the
process seem endless." ~ Joy Fox, as quoted in an article House
of Cob by The Morning News, July 2001
