Last winter, I did some experimenting with papier mâché. Using different paste formulations. Different materials. Wondering how the results would differ. Testing and comparing. Using old rubber masks as the base. No astounding discoveries were made, and I had no immediate use for them, so they found their way into the deep recesses of the basement storage area. There to remain for months and months and months. Until last month. When it occurred to me that they might make lovely flower centres.
