a few drops of oil of cloves to give the paste an awesome smell (or a horrible one)

a few drops of food coloring or powdered paint

Whip with an egg beater until it is nice and fluffy
Fill up several small containers or muffin tin with the paste or liquid laundry starch.
Then mix in a few drops of the food coloring or powdered tempera paint into each one (for texture, you can stir in some salt, sand, or coffee grounds)
Place some shiny paper (can use shelf paper) on your table.
Use a wet sponge and dampen the paper or hold the paper under the faucet for a few minutes.
Put down a dab of paint on top of the paper and start your fingers painting.
Tip: Don't use too much paint or your paper will get muddy and you don't have to just use your fingers, try your palm or your whole hand. If your paper gets too wrinkled you can put it between newspapers and iron it..after it dries.

1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of salt
1 cup of water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons cream of tartar

6 cups of baking soda
3 cups of cornstarch
3 1/2 cups of water
1/2 cup of salt

Cook over medium heat until it bubbles and thickens.
Put it on a board and cover with a damp cloth until it cools.
Knead and divide into batches (add food coloring if you want)
