Plaster of Paris - What can you do with it

[little_grey_bantam]

I saw it on sale... 2.50 for 4 pounds... what do i do with it now?
I was going to purchase Sculpey clay to make more jewelry, but since this was on sale... I thought why the heck not?
Can you do the same with it as Sculpey clay?

I just wanted to know your experiences with it and what you can do with it exactly.

PLEASE be DETAILED. I'm a little word-understanding-slow.

Ohh! Ohh! waves hand in air I know I know. You can make those rat balls to kill all the rats without harming other animals.
Just something I've learned here at BYC..

if you have rubber moulds you can pour it in to make ornaments.

you can use it to thicken cloth to make sculptures, masks etc

use modelling clay to make a mould for making things, and pour it in there...

use rubber gloves (rubber only inside, if they're the sort to have fabric inside, turn them inside out) to make hand sculptures.

I use it to make two and three part molds for slip-cast pottery.
