In stores for creativity, a polymer clay is sold, and on the Internet you can find a lot of information how to make the so-called "cold china" at home, which is essentially the same thing, as it seems to me. A large number of components of this recipe scarecrow me, but the daughter attracted in the store a set of stone jewelry. There are many similar sets on sale, I do not like to buy them - it's expensive, good idea, beautiful packaging, and inside solid disappointment. For example, in this set, it was possible to make a couple of products ... and that's it. Twisting a set, reading the instructions, it became clear that it is nothing but a polymer clay mixed with sand. We had ocean's sand, so it remained for small ...
The recipes of the "cold porcelain" on the Internet set, I chose the easiest with the smallest number of components:
1 cup of plow glue
1 cup of corn starch
1 tbsp. Spoon of fatty cosmetic cream
1 tbsp. Spoon glycerin
1 h. Spoon of citric acid or lemon juice
The cream used what was, and it is not very fat, so I put 2 spoons and 2 spoons of glycerin.
We mix all the liquid components, cook on medium fire, continuously stirring, slowly suck the starch, cook and interfere with the moment when the mixture that has turned into a com will begin to lag from the edges of the pan. I will add everything to the food plastic film or foil, knead well, predetermined Slowing hands with cream, and a mixture sprinkle with starch so as not to stick to the hands. Swimming up to the state when the mixture stops sticking together and everything. Wrap it in the food plastic film, remove in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours.
"Cold porcelain" is good for small products, large cracks. On the Internet I read that someone is cracking, I can not say that. For stone jewelry, they knew more sand, here the product is cracking less with the sand, then in the future they began to add marble crumb, sold in stores for creativity, it is not expensive, it is not difficult, so that it is not difficult to paint the product. If you do with marble crumb, then cream and glycerin must be added more, 3 spoons. Dry products for several. hours, then, if you wish, you can paint, lacked.
That's what we did -
From the remaining mixture, the children blinded here such a castle -
And this is what wept with marble crumb -
There were still charming frogs with the size of the marigold, but after classes, the children were so quickly cleaned their work, which did not have time to take a picture.
