Hi all, While talking to folks a few days ago either on our chat or hangout, a few people voiced interest in another group that I am a part of, and someone requested that I share the info with the folks on this list in case more people wanted to participate in these events. So, with the permission of the leader of the Tactile art club, I share this email. Take care, all.

It will form a ball. Take it off the heat just before all the uncooked dough transforms. I know I am not saying this well but when you do this you can easily see and/or feel that the dough becomes cohesive and forms a ball and is no longer wet feeling. Try it you will understand. If you stop just before it all becomes all uniformly non-sticky but has just a few streaks of wet mixture it will be a good consistency. Knead it until it is uniform. If it is too wet you didn't cook enough, if it is too stiff you overcooked. Cook more if undercooked or a
dd water if over cooked and knead again. > > Smooth White Dough > 1 cup baking soda (2 c = 1 pound) > 1/2 cup corn starch (3 c = 1 pound) > 3/4 cup water > cook - knead - don't over cook > > I like to keep this in the refrigerator if I am not going to use it that day. But before I start on a project it is fun to add food color, food flavors like peppermint, vanilla or spices like cinnamon anything that you like the smell of. And you can also have some cold, some room temperature and some warm, to add tactile interest. > > Once this clay is allowed to dry it will become quite solid. Just remember to allow air to circulate around it until it is completely dry. This might take a week or so depending on how thick your sculpture is. At that point you could add decorations. > ***** > > _______________________________________________ NFB-Krafters-Korner mailing list NFB-Krafters-Korner at nfbnet.org http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-krafters-korner_nfbnet.org Division Website: http://www.
