[Jewelry making - Article 00530] - [Orchid] Salvaging Art Clay

    I've made a serious error in storing some Art Clay that my husband
    bought me two years ago. I attempted to make some rings last year,
    which failed miserably. I put the remainder away, thinking I had
    wrapped the clay well enough. 

    Time has passed, and I've been horribly busy. The remainder of the
    clay has of course since dried completely. While I've bought a
    package of PMC and plan to use the entire package this weekend, I'd
    still like to try and reconstitute the dried Art Clay if possible.
    Is this lump now totally wasted? 

    I read Tim McCreight's book, which has a section on PMC, but no tips
    for reconstitution. I tried searching the Ganoksin archives, but
    didn't find anything. 

    Anyone out there who's got any experiences with this error? 

Thanks!
Miachelle
