Making Clay Candle Holders.

For months I've been trying to find this recipe for making clay, but tonight I found it and I have it a go.  The image shows my attempts. They are candle holders for my Beltane Altar. They aren't finished yet. I want to paint the Horned God in Gold and the Triple Goddess in Silver.

Here is the recipe if you want to give it a go yourself.

MAKING CLAY GODDESS FIGURES
by Jasmeine Moonsong

Something fun to work with is clay. :))) It's very easy to make and you can do soooo many things with it. It's a fun project to get the kids engaged with as well.

What You Need
- 1 Box baking soda (about 2 cups)
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups water
- sauce pan
- bowl
- spoon
- saran wrap

Mix all the ingredients together in a saucepan. Cook it over medium heat, stirring constantly. It's done when it becomes too thick to stir with a spoon.

Let it cool for about 15 nihutes, or until you can touch the dough. You then want to knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is smooth.

You can then mold it into whatever you like. I showed some Goddess figures above, but you can also make other items that are of significance to you, runes or whatever you like. :))

Put them somewhere safe to let them dry. It can take 1 - 2 days depending on how thick what you made is. You can then paint it however you like. Tempera or acrylic craft paints work best. :)))

Have fun!!
