Nice
I would use Calcium Carbonate to keep it from sticking to your hands while modeling.... that would be ground chalk finely powdered... I made this in Chemistry 101...Looks like your mixture is better than the one I used... Do you know how to make others?

This is not silly putty
this isnt the same substance as silly putty. silliy putty is not made of glue and starch, i know cause i made this in middle school and it goes bad after about 3 days, its just not the same thing

other "silly putty"
use 20ml of pva solution, and 5ml of tetraborate solution, and you get slime.

how to really make it
2 table spoons of glue and about 1.5-2 tablespoons of starch (keeps it from sticking to your hands)Stir VERY good, and drop it in your hands for a while, and then you get good silly putty.

another way
part white glue (eg. elmers etc..) and solution of borax (cleaning solution) and h2o. works faster kinda-ish. no stirring. this video's technique is new to me. never made it this way before.

  I'm not sure if there is a useful application for this, but it's great to play with. Oh, yes, it's good excercise for the hands :)

Is silly putty like play-dough ???
Does this stay soft for a long time ? and does it go hard when it dries out ?
Looks good... A little easier than the play dough I used to make, which requires heating...

- Depends...
  If it is stored in something like a sealed ziplock bag, then it stays nice and soft. If left out, it slowly drys out and gets harder (which can sometimes be a good thing depending on how your batch turns out).
