2 c. cold water
1 1/2 - 1 3/4 c. flour
Newspaper

Cut newspaper into strips that measure about 1" by 15". Mix water and flour in large bowl with wire whisk until smooth. Mixture should be the same thickness as heavy cream. Coat a mold (clay or an inflated balloon make a good mold) with one layer newspaper strips which have been dipped in water. Then dip strips in flour mixture and lay over first layer of strips until mold is well coated. Let stand until strips on mold are dry and hard. Paint over the strips if you like.
