No-Bake Sculpting Dough

This dries overnight. No heating fuel necessary.

Ingredients
2 cups baking soda
1 cup cornstarch
1 1/4 cups cold water

Directions
Mix baking soda, water, and cornstarch in cooking pan; stir constantly over medium heat for about 3 or 4 minutes until mixture thickens to a moist mashed potato consistency.

Remove from heat, scrape into ceramic bowl, and cover with a damp cloth until cool.

Knead until smooth.

Sculpt, tool, and shape . To store unused dough, wrap in plastic wrap, or Ziploc bag (be sure to squeeze as much of the air out as you can).

Dry any sculpted shapes overnight on a non-porous surface (like a ceramic dish), then paint with tempera or acrylic paints.

Coat with polyurethane or shellac or nail polish.

I think you're right. I really should talk more about what it's like living on foodstamps and a minimum-wage paycheck that barely covers the rent.

Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you said something.
