Papier mache could be formed more easily directly from recycled paper. It is just for novelty value? It seems really tacky and pointless. Not to mention the ethical issues to do with feeding snails coloured paper in this way. I agree with dist – I don’t understand the benefit of encouraging snails to

Is it possible to harvest that much fresh and dare I say it - moist snail sh*t suitable for the moulding in the time frame needed to complete the process? What is even more disturbing is that I am writing about the logistics of snail crap moulding and its production issues. Nice one Manuel, this is well comedy and for that I applaud you! Now go get a job. Maybe I am being cynical, but I’m not actually convinced that the tray is made from ‘snail dejections’.
