Making Soft Dough Character

Flour, salt, and water: it's amazing such commonplace materials can make such incredible, wonderful things! With this exciting new angle on the popular and easy-to-master craft of molding dough, the possibilities are endless: a smiling, bright-eyed clown; a pirate pig with an eye patch and bandanna; a frog fly fisherman; a bride and groom; and a mother bear with 5 little cubs in 5 little pockets. Simply attach the individually formed dough heads and limbs to a "soft body"--you can even mix them up imaginatively to construct your own unique characters. All the basics are here including a recipe for salt dough, basic techniques, sewing patterns for the clothes, and enticing color photographs of the finished projects.Hughes, Patricia is the author of 'Making Soft Dough Character', published 2006 under ISBN 9781597642828 and ISBN 1597642827.
