Hands and feats of clay is a sort of comic book featuring a series of visual gags. The gags consist of photographs with humorous captions. Each photograph depicts an animal character made from modeling material such as polymer clay, non-hardening clay and baker's clay. Baker's clay is a mixture of flour, salt and water. A variation of baker's clay substitutes corn starch and baking soda for the flour and salt. All characters depicted in this book are from the author's imagination.
