Another type of organic pasta is the famous corn paste. It too is very cheap to make, but if it includes in the ingredients that make it more resistant than the salt dough. A creation
paste Corn does not require cooking because, just leave the work in contact with the air to have a very solid building. When I first time I was amazed by the corn paste its flexibility, however, is a technique that I abandoned after a short time because my goal was to create very human faces and I could not to make the cracks on parts round of the head. So over time I have used this technique to create only a few flowers.
As the salt dough, the corn can still be colored raw or after drying. Here too, the colors incorporated in the dough still soft after the object has reached its level of resistance to change the hue color, becoming more flamboyant. For the dough of corn can be used any type of polish. The polishing makes the object very similar to ceramics.
Here are the ingredients for pasta corn :
  • 150 g of corn starch
  • 250 g of PVA glue
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or Vaseline paraffin (oil wine)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or drops of lavender oil or essence
Procedure:
Mix the ingredients gently in an old saucepan while avoiding any possible lumps. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until the dough comes off the sides of the pan. Place on a plan and trying not to get burned a little mix 'pasta. Then, as the salt dough, you can proceed in two ways:

  • incorporating the color temperature (I prefer them) in the dough, taking the appropriate amount to our purpose and resting a bit 'color in a depression created to accommodate the temperature, then mix the colors together with the pasta.
  • create sculpture and painting it after reaching suitable consistency. If we choose this method you should use the colors much more resistant to tempera.
The paste that is left is advisable to close it in a bag or in a film to prevent the dough from drying out.
After our baby has reached the desired look we can proceed to polishing.
polished look that is dry and we can show our object in any place without fear that a damp and dreary day destroy our beloved creature.
