Salt Dough

Here is the basic recipe:
• one cup of fine salt
• one cup of flour
• about half a cup of water

Mix the flour and the salt together in a large bowl. Depending on the flour brand, you may need a different amount of water so it is best to make a well in the center and pour in the water. You have to knead until smooth and elastic and non-sticky dough.
Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it into a plastic film in order to prevent it from drying. The dough is now ready to be used.

Variations :
The basic recipe can be adapted for different purposes :
• Add more flour and you'll get a softer dough
• Add more salt and the aspect of the sculptures will be granulous
• Add wallpaper glue and the dough will be more cohesive

A few way to add color to your sculptures :
• by using different brands of flour (rye, ...)
• by adding spices, chocolate powder, coffee...
• by adding gouache, oil paint (use gloves and knead long enough to get a uniform color)
• by adding food colorants
• by leaving the sculptures in the oven until golden
• you can also paint your sculptures once they have dried up
