Dough Art

2 c Flour
1 c Salt
1 c Water

Combine flour and salt in large, flat bottomed bowl. Add a little water at a time, mixing as you pour to form a ball. Knead for 7 - 10 minutes until dough has a smooth, firm consistency. Add small amounts of water if necessary. Keep in plastic bag to prevent drying. When ready to use, flour hands and work space to keep the dough from sticking. Roll out to cut shapes or form into desired shapes with hands. Join pieces together by moistening both surfaces with water and pressing together. Either let air dry for 48 hours, longer if they are thick or bake at 325 - 350 deg until surface turns light golden brown. The last step is to paint with acrylic paints, enamels, clear acrylic or varnish to seal out moisture. NOT EDIBLE, but not toxic.
