     Mix together the flour and salt; add water while stirring. If using
   glycerine, cut water slightly.  If adding liquid color also adjust
   water. Knead until smooth and workable for 5 to 10 minutes.
     This is very, very flexible - it can be flattened, cut, rolled,
   braided, layered, squeezed through garlic press, cut with cookie
   cutters, pressed into molds, pinched, coiled, or whatever you can
   think of to do.
     When baked, this becomes extremely hard, similar to ceramic clay.
   The temperature and time depend on the thickness of design and
   materials added to basic dough. Some items with bulk should be baked
   in a 350~ oven for 1 hour.  cookie type flattened items need long
   slow drying -- use low temp (150~) overnight -- about 8 hours.
