                                              GETTING READY FOR PAPER MACHE

                                       
 HERE I AM BOILING WATER WITH STRIPS OF NEWSPAPER IN IT FOR APR 30 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. YOU WANT THEM TO FALL APART EASY WHEN YOU POKE AT IT.

                                                    

                                        
THEN CAREFULLYYYYY STRAIN IT LEAVING "ALITTLE WATER" AND PULSE IT WITH A STICK BLENDER UNTIL ITS GOT A MEDIUM SMOOTHNESS

                                                          
                                                           I APPARENTLY FORGOT A PICTURE. I MOLDED WIRE INTO A ROUGH SHAPE OF A HAND AND THEN WRAPPED IT IN TIN FOIL. YOU COULD JUST USE THE TIN FOIL BUT I WANTED IT STURDIER FOR THIS PROJECT.

                                                    HERE'S THE NEWSPAPER MIXED WITH ONE WHOLE BAG OF  FLOUR  , 2 TBSP SALT AND PULSED AGAIN.

   
                                                  IT RISES A BIT AS IT SITS SO BE CAREFUL THE BOWL IS BIG ENOUGH! I HAD TO LET MINE SIT OVER NIGHT BECAUSE I MUST HAVE USED TO MUCH WATER AND IT WAS TO SLOPPY TO WORK WITH. I DIDN'T REFRIGERATE MINE. IVE BEEN USING IT FOR LIKE 4 DAYS AND IT DOES SMELL FUNKY BUT STILL WORKING WELL :}

                                                HERE ARE MY HANDS AFTER BEING COATED WITH THE PAPER MACHE. THEY ARE STILL DRYING. ILL ADD A BIT MORE HERE AND THERE AND THEN PAINT THEM ALL CREEPY, LIKE THEY,RE A FEW YEARS DEAD :}.
