Thanks for the recipe.
Is the borax found in the washing powder section of the grocery?
I wonder if acrylic paint could be used for colouring instead of the food
colouring so that it wouldn't stain.
I've seen the acrylic paint used in the bread dough recipe (one slice of 
bread crusts removed, and 1 tblsp Aleene's tacky glue) and it doesn't stain 
their
hands when working the paint in, so that the colour is even and then when
forming the flower, bead etc.
