This one is all yours
Nothing sharp, nothing hot, nowhere far. Tell someone what you're up to, then go ahead and do it on your own.
Why that works
Flour holds water like a sponge; salt pulls it back out as the dough sits in the air. After a day or two the water is gone and what's left is a hard, light block that paint sticks to.
Lambton County twist
Make shapes inspired by Lambton County’s beaches and waterfronts.
