Model Mix:
               2 cups salt
               2/3 cup water
               1 cup cornflour
               1/2 cup water

Mix 2 cups of salt and 2/3 cup of water. Stir constantly over 
medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until bubbles form. Remove from 
heat. Immediately mix 1 cup of cornflour and 1/2 cup of cold water 
with the hot mixture. Stir quickly to a stiff consistency. If it 
does not thicken stir over heat for 1 minute. Knead the dough until 
pliable and store in a tightly closed container. If exposed it will 
harden in 36 hours or it can be baked in an oven at 350 (Gas No. 4).
It can be painted when hard.

Craft Clay:
 Combine:      1 cup cornflour
               2 cups bicarb of soda
               1 1/4 cups of water

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened to 
dough-like consistency. Turn onto a board and knead lightly. Cover 
with a damp cloth until cool, then shape as desired, keeping unused 
portion covered with aluminium foil. When exposed to the air this 
clay will dry very hard and is great for making pendants (unlike lubbs
which is great for meeting pedants), plaques, etc., which can then be 
painted and glazed.

Papier Mache:
              6 sheets  of shredded newspaper
              5 pints water
              1 cup of Polycell (without fungicide)
              1/3 cup Polyfilla

Boil 6 sheets of shredded newspaper with 5 pints water. Beat to pulp. 
Strain  any excess liquid off. Add 1 cup of Polycell and 1/3 cup of 
Polyfilla and beat well until smooth. This will keep moist for a few 
days in a polythene bag.


Playdough Recipes (requiring no cooking):

This is a tough dough with a nice gleam, easily cut with pastry 
cutters. The oil makes it pliable. Knead well for best results.
