Cold Porcelain

Ingredients.

1)one cup corn flour
(2)one cup and two tea spoons of any white glue
(3)one table of synthetic vinegar
(4)one table of baby oil
(5)1/4 cup of water
(6)one tea spoon of Vaseline/Nivea/Ponds
(7)one table spoon of glycerine

Mix one cup of white glue and 1/4 cup of water into a non-stick pan. Add one table spoon of baby oil, one table spoon of glycerine, one table spoon of synthetic vinegar and a scoop of vaseline into the mixture. Mix all ingredients very well and make it into a smooth paste. Add one table spoon of corn flour in to the glue mixture and mix well. Add the corn flour little by little till it becomes a smooth paste. Do not leave any dry particle or lap in it. Cook on very low flame and keep stirring well. Keep stirring from center to edges and try to gather all batter. Place the porcelain dough in a vaseline greased bag.

( You can cook in microwave for 3 minutes on maximum power. But each time mix the paste with the wood spoon, so that it cooks all around equally. Variations in the electric supply, differences in the size of cups and the different models of microwaves can modify the cooking time of the paste.)

Take a damp cloth, place porcelain bag on it and start kneading for eight to ten minutes until it looks smooths and soft. Add one tea spoon of white poster paint in it and again knead until the colour mix well in it. Wrap it in the same plastic bag and place in an air tight box. Store in a refrigerator and take out one or two hours before you start making flowers..
