BEAD CLAY
A fun little project for days spent indoors. Fun for kids or adults.
3/4 cup Flour
1/2 cup Salt
1/2 cup Cornstarch
warm water
In a bowl, mix flour, salt and water. Slowly mix in warm water until a dough is formed.
Knead 5 minutes until dough is firm.
Make beads by rolling the dough into balls and poking with a straw (big holes) or toothpick (small holes).
Let dry 48 hours.
Paint with acrylic or tempura paints (acrylic covers better, but doesn't come out of clothes
From the sky, From the earth, From a scrap of paper, From a passing shape,
From a spiders web, We must pick out what is good for us, where we can find it.
~Pablo Picasso
Dye fabric brown inexpensively. Soak the fabric in a bucket of strong black coffee. This
technique is also a good way to cover-up an irremovable coffee stain on a white table cloth.
