Crustables

They sell peanut butter & jelly sandwiches without the crust in the freezer section of your local grocery store. With THAT out of the way, I'm here to tell you about the fabulous world of paper mache: it's fabulous. I started making a few things today, what an enjoyable and CHEAP craft. Flour, water and paper. No, not fancy paper. Old newspaper. Of course, you could add in some masking tape and cardboard and acrylic paint and, if you want a glossy appearance, a clear coat of water-based polyurethane. I found a website that inspired me: ultimatepapermache.com  wow. That chick is GOOD. And where is she residing? Oregon. I've never been there, is it swarming with various mosquitoes? I don't even care, I just want to surround myself with beer-drinking vegans and paper mache artists. I want the people around me to think it's awesome that I live in an old van with a hammock and that I make money by selling crocheted halter tops for babies on etsy.com. Ya know? Otherwise I'll just have to start taking medication.
