Paper Mache Masks {Virtual Fridge}

This Week
A while back we had fun making a paper mache mask.  Sir N did not like the feel of the flour glue mix but he persevered.

I found some great tutorials on YouTube

• How to Make a Papier-Mache Mask this one uses a plastic milk/juice bottle for the base.
• How to Use Balloon Bases in Paper Mache We used this method.  We only covered half the balloon though.
• No Cook Paper Mache Paste this is the recipe we used to make the glue.

 On the back

On a warm September afternoon in the year 2000, Dr. Alexander Sinclair travels to the Doppelganger Genetic Cloning Facility near Santa Fe, New Mexico, to meet with its brilliant but mysterious director, Dr. Karl Helmick. Over the next 21 years, the two scientists collaborate on incredible scientific breakthroughs, as Karl becomes friend, mentor and father-figure to Alexander. But the longer Alexander knows Karl the more aware he becomes of how little he knows about him. As the years go by, Alexander becomes increasingly suspicious that his colleague is not who he appears to be. And as Karl prepares to implement his plans for the future, each of the men discovers just how far he is willing to go to live forever.

This book was selected as one of four finalists in the Christianity Today 2011 Book Awards, Fiction Category.
