Flour, salt, and water: it's amazing such commonplace materials can make such incredible, wonderful things! With this exciting new angle on the popular and easy-to-master craft of molding dough, the possibilities are endless: a smiling, bright-eyed clown; a pirate pig with an eye patch and bandanna; a frog fly fisherman; a bride and groom; and a mother bear with 5 little cubs in 5 little pockets. Simply attach the individually formed dough heads and limbs to a "soft body"--you can even mix them up imaginatively to construct your own unique characters. All the basics are here including a recipe for salt dough, basic techniques, sewing patterns for the clothes, and enticing color photographs of the finished projects.
