It makes cleanup so much easier; it comes off of hands and paintbrushes with just a quick wash. We’ve already mentioned all the cool colors, but it bears repeating.

It also dries much faster than oil paints, allowing you to keep small projects from taking up too much time....

You can also choose to color-coordinate your bead soup—keep one jelly jar for each color: red, blue, orange, green, yellow, black/white, and brown.

The sellers of Obama coins play up the historical and emotional aspects of Obama’s success, often marketing these coins as rare, limited edition collectibles that could increase in value over time. When you mix emotions and investment decisions, your pocketbook is almost always a loser. Consider the national tragedy when President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. The public scrambled for mementos of this much-beloved president. Private mints and souvenir factories cranked out products as fast as the audience could buy them....

Make sure you cover yourself as well as using smocks or old clothes. Some creations can take several days to finish, so remind kids that they have to be patient!

To address the pressure treated wood safety concerns, in 2002, the United States’ Environmental Protection Agency convinced lumber manufacturers to find a non-arsenic based formula for treated. The result is ACQ (Alkaline Copper Quaternary) treated lumber. The new ACQ treated lumber contains a very high level of copper to replace the arsenic. While this reduces the desired risk of poisoning, it does present a different, but very dangerous problem: increased levels of corrosion....

The metallic composition of the coin is complicated: a pure copper core clad with layers of metallurgically bonded outer layers of manganese brass (77% copper, 12% zinc, 7% manganese, and 4% nickel).

Each brand of machine is slightly different, but the basic stitches that can be made are the same. Here, you’ll see examples of sewing done on a Husqvarna Huskylock 936. Using three rows of the thread rather than two allows you to hold the fabric “down” more than two rows of stitching would, therefore adding stability to the hem.
