JEWELRY FOOLERY
1 c. cornstarch
2 c. baking soda
1 1/4 c. water
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat. At first the mixture is stiff but thins with stirring. In about 4 minutes, the mixture will suddenly thicken. Remove from heat and transfer into quilted plastic bag to cool. When cool, knead for a few minutes to remove lumps and air bubbles. Dough can be rolled out flat and cut in shapes or it can be handrolled in round shapes. Make holes with paperclips or toothpicks leaving it until it hardens. Place pieces on wire screen in 350 degree preheated oven. Turn off heat and leave for about 30 minutes. Thick objects take longer. May be painted with tempura, water or acrylic paints and coated with shellac for added brilliance.
