What's New Under the Sun?



I promised I would put a plug in for homemade bisque clay.

Here it is:

Using two cups of baking powder and a cup of cornstarch, mix 1 and 1/4 cup water into this mix using a deep stew pot. Bring the mix to a boil and stir constantly. The mix will bubble and clots will begin to form. Keep stirring until the mix is like very lumpy wallpaper paste. Keep stirring until the mix becomes like mashed potatoes. Remove from heat and let stand until cool. The mix will make all kinds of things like beads, animals, china like bowls and plates and cups. Bake in a 350 degrees oven or air dry. Lots of fun. Clay lasts about two weeks in the fridge.
