=====================
Hi Glen        8/19/2010

gj-> I picked up this message, even though there was a minor spelling error
gj-> in my name.

[Chuckle]  I wonder how the heck that happened?  

Hey!   I bet I know... it's that program error of mine that used to
misspell "Janis."    Pesky thing!

 
BF> Eh?  Panel beater?  Whuzzat?
 
gj-> A craftsman who could straighten out the body panels of bent cars,

Thank you, Oh Patient One.   And to the others who answered.

Isn't it nice to have someone around to cause confusion in the craft once
in a while?

   Cook the above mixture over medium heat stirring until stiff. Cool and
   knead out lumps. Store in airtight container.
   
   FINGER PAINTING
   
   For young children, prepare instant chocolate pudding and let them do
   creative finger painting with no danger if some finds its way to their
   mouths!
   
   MACARONI PICTURES
   
   Have various shapes of pasta to choose from. Let children glue these
onto
   colored paper for creative pictures.
   
   PLACE MATS
   
   Let children draw their own pictures on fairly heavy paper. Use clear
   contact paper to cover the front and back of the drawing. They now have
   their own personal placemat. These make fun presents for Mom and Dad for
   special occasions.
   
   CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENTS
   
   1 cup cornstarch 2 cups baking soda 1 1/4 cups cold water
   
   Mix and cook over medium heat stirring constantly about 4 minutes or til
   mixture thickens into a moist mashed potato-like consistency. Cover with 
   a cloth while it cools enough to knead it.
   
   Roll out dough and cut into shapes using a straw to put a hole in the
top
   for a ribbon to hang on the Christmas tree.
   
   Dry 24 hours. Paint with tempera paints.
   
   PAPIER MACHE
   
   Dry laundry starch cold water
   
   Mix the starch and water in equal amounts. Stir completely. Let stand.
This
   will thicken. Tear newspaper or tissue paper into strips. Dip these
strips
   into mixture. Shape over a balloon or into a mask shape, figures,
animals,
   etc. Let dry 3 days or so, depending on thickness. Paint with acrylic
   paints.

stirring
   constantly. Thicken to consistency of mashed potatoes. Form clay into
   desired shapes, let dry for 36 hours, color with paint or felt-tip
marker,
   and coat with shellac or clear nail polish.
  
 MMMMM


You can get enough of the clear Nail Polish for this, in the handy Two Ton
Family size, at your local Drug Store.
