Practice: Downward Facing Dog
Activity: Salt Dough Impressions
Using 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of table salt, and 1/2 cup of water, create a simple salt dough by mixing the dry ingredients first, then slowly add water while mixing.
Roll the dough and into flat circles and impress something meaningful to you, or something from nature. A leaf, a coin, a handprint-- anything that speaks to you that you want to capture. Create a hole in the top if you wish to make an ornament or pendant.
Wait overnight for the piece to dry, then paint if you wish.
