Gee whiz are you telling me that the moisture in the clay weighs that much,
that when it dries you can really feel the difference in weight?

It's generally very hard and a lot lighter than when you made it.

Is there a way to tell on the air dry clay when it is totally dry?
I know I had asked last night the steps of process and Joseli said, Make it
and let it dry, paint it with acrylic paint and let it dry[that does not
take long] and then use a finishing spray on it outside [as it smells[ and
let it dry.

I'm very sorry I missed this, especially as I was hoping to have some
questions answered.
1. Are there particular brands of air-dry clay you would recommend? I have
arthritis in my hands, so I am particularly hoping to find some
easy-to-mold clays.
2. Do various clays vary in the texture while you are working the clay?
do
they vary in texture or porousness--is that the correct term?--once they
have dried?
3. Can air-dry clays be glazed once they are cured?
4. How long does it typically take air-dry clay to dry completely?
5. Are there any books or Web sites which you can recommend for working
with air-dry clay? How about tools or tool sets which you would recommend
to use with air-dry clay?
Thank you for any answers you can provide, and I'm sorry I have so many
questions.
