**** NO ONE *****

Tear four large newspaper sheets into small pieces. Place pieces in
container with two quarts of water and let soak overnight. The next
morning, place mixture in a cooking pan and boil for 20 minutes. Using a
whisk, whip the paper mixture until it is soft and pulpy. Place the mixture
in a strainer, tapping several times to shake out the water. Squeeze gently
until the mixture is a soft, pulpy, moist lump. Place pulp into a bowl and
stir in tow tablespoons of liquid Elmer's Glue (PVA) then 2 tablespoons of
wallpaper paste. Stir until the mixture is not lumpy. This makes on quart
of papiermâché mash.
