Structure Four: The St. Bartholemew

The eponymous St. Bartholemew (1625-1654) is the Patron Saint of Skegness. Between prayers and fasting and that kind of stuff he used to build things out of bails of hay for some reason. His favouritest bail-formation consisted of four bails aligned in very much the way we see these bog rolls below. The St. Bartholemew is at the heart of the reason why many of the intelligentsia naturally associate spiritual, religious undertones with all toilet-roll based structures.

Structure One: The Standard Pyramid

One of the more basic structures but it serves well as an introduction to the fascinating world of Building with Bog Rolls. Notice particularly the strength and solidity of this structure.

Mankind has achieved much: dvd players, cheese & biscuits, the toothache. What goes undocumented, however, is the wealth of artistic merit to be found in the common-o'-garden toilet roll. Pictures and creativity follow. Enjoy them both.
