Dear readers,
I have a cousin who said she watched a garden show recently where they made
'clay' markers that didn't need to be fired in an oven and wondered what
kind of clay they used? I rather suspect she didn't hear this correctly
and the clay was most likely not done in a regular kiln but had to be
submitted at least to a regular kitchen oven to harden...at any rate I told
her that it sounded like they would melt in the rain, sun and the elements.
Any comments!

Hi Llewellyn:
Funny You should ask! 8>) I just got back from a trip to Hobby Lobby
with my granddaughter and I happened to pick up a little trial size of
"Crayola" clay. Hmmmmm, it's around here somewhere dig, dig, dig). Any
ways, from the outside directions, it will stay soft and workable for quite
a long time. However, when it is emersed in water for a specified period of
time, it changes chemically and hardens. Hummmmmmmmmmmm Let you all know
if it works.
