    The Paper Mache club comprises all of us on here mad enough to mix up flour & water paste and cover a balloon in an effort to make ourselves sealed banks LOL It's just a little bit of fun that kind of, err... caught on. At the rate we are going, there should be a paper mache pet show coming up in the new year LOL Recipe is posted in several places throughout this thread.
    We are eagerly awaiting the unveiling of Stuntpig and it sounds like there's going to be a bear appearing soon. I still haven't risked attempting the four foot balloon for fear of being blasted if it bursts ROFL

    In answer to the Bear's maker - yes, PVA glue works :)
