No-Cook Clay

Submitted by Chef Chocoholic

"I completely made up this recipe. I haven't made anything big with it it, but let a few small pieces dry overnight. They didn't crack, and seemed to hold up pretty well. The clay is kinda stiff strait from the fridg, but the more you work with it, the softer it gets. Enjoy!"
