Instructions
In a medium saucepan on medium heat, add all of the ingredients.
Bring to a boil stirring constantly.
Turn the heat down to low and boil gently, stirring constantly, until the liquid is gone and the consistency is like mashed potatoes.
Remove from heat and continue stirring while it cools down a couple of minutes.
As soon as you can handle it, plop it into a damp towel and shape it into a ball.
Wrap the ball in the damp towel to cool.
When you can handle the clay, knead it several times until smooth. Let cool in the damp towel or use it immediately.
Wrap it and store it when cooled if not using it right away.

Notes
The clay can be kept in airtight storage indefinitely (I haven't kept in longer then 5 days, though so can't speak to any longer than that time)
