Peggy Herr was an early clay art participant. She developed this recipe. She died in 2006.I add paper pulp to this.about 20% to the clay portion.
This is her recipe.
Here is the recipe for Peggys spooze if anyone would like to try it. It's
wonderful.

1/3 parts dry clay powdered....any body...preferably the one you are using
with no grog
1/3 parts heavy karo syrup
1/3 parts white distilled vinegar

A drop of hydrogen peroxide to keep it from spoiling...it will bubble for a
few minutes and then settle down. if you dont add that the sugar goes bad
and smells awful in about a day.

This is an interesting recipe. Do you just paint it on or need to work it in.


I am from Brownsville. Haven't been there for years. Would love to hear about your life there.

The application depends on the need. It is not runny.
