Mum is tearing up paper to make paper logs with.  She does this by putting the paper in a bucket, adding water and leaving it a few days.  It gets squidged about during this time.  She then puts it in a mould, bounces on it and turns it out to dry.  This is her first year doing it so I'm hoping it will keep me lovely and snug in the winter.  People make decorative items out of papier mache I believe.  Its the sort of thing Aunty Biscuit does, best keep an eye on her in case she snaffles any to make a misshapen vase or similar.
