CAN I WEAR A MIDDLE FINGER T SHIRT TO SCHOOL?

ok this is not a troll question. im 12, and i have this black t shirt and it has this huge hand sticking up the middle finger. i also have some with like **** you or go screw yourself or something, but i cant wear those to school. i was wondering about the middle finger one, because the rules say "No gang attire, nudity, curse words on t shirts" and a middle finger is one of them. i think that would make an interesting school day, the teachers would be like you cant wear that! im sending you to the office! and i will be like no **** you the rulebook doesnt say anything about the middle finger

Is my child (3 1/2) developing correctly if she doesn't try to play with things with her hands like cheerios, blocks, clay, etc.? She doesn't appear to have anything wrong, she just hardly uses her hands to do anything. When should I be concerned?

At nearly four I think you should have some concerns, yes. If she’s truly not engaging with any toys or activities at that advanced age then there are definite worries. Does she write or draw or color? Does she feed herself? If she is refusing to use her hands for anything it’s certsinly going to effect her ability to write, use keyboards, etc. He fine motor and manual dexterity skills are already impaired if she’s never interacted with toys or other things to develop those skills. And the tragedy is you probably never encouraged the proper development when she was an infant. Did she play in her food? Was she allowed to get messy? Was she placed on her belly for tummy time? Did she crawl or go straight to walking? Because the crawling stage is of utmost importance to infant/child drvelopment. Did she have mobiles and crib toys to reach for and explore with her hands? Was she consistently encouraged to grasp and hold and teach for toys? Sadly many parents these days just can’t be bothered - too busy with their electronics or their own pursuits - until they begin to notice a child had a problem and by then it’s often too late.Put her in a pre-school. It might help to see other kids playing. But she may also need a medical intervention.

How do I mould and make metal things? Like models and large jewellery?

Hello :)

I want to learn how to make my own metal stuff... I know, that sounds vague! I've never done any metal work before, not even in school, so i've no idea where to begin really. My mam had a boyfriend that made these collectable metal figures for comic book fan collectors, and he'd make like a little rubber mould then pour hot melted liquid metal into 'em... this is kinda where I want to begin.

I have a few project idea's... I collect weapons and it'd be cool to be able to design and create my own fantasy weapon pieces. I'd also like to create metal arm warmers (I know there's a better word for that but it escapes my mind right now!) which would extend over the hand, which I guess also means i'd need to learn some joining and filing and polishing and maybe even annodising. Anything like this would also need to be biologically inert so it didn't cause skin irritation.. so smooth, and titanium or niobium or stainless steel.

Where should I begin on this?

Thanks!

Can you stick sculpted clay onto plastic?

You don't say the kind of "clay" you're using and that would make a lot of difference in the adhesive and the way you could connect them, etc.

Real "earthen clay" would be heavy and porous.
Air-dry clays would be lightweight and porous (that would also include papier mache).
Polymer clay would be medium weight (or light-weight if hollow) and not porous.

Glue guns can hold some items together quickly but aren't all that strong; they'd hold best though on porous surfaces or on dimensional ones so they could also form a mechanical hold. You can use both glue gun glue and a permanent "white glue" though by applying bits of white glue first, then put a few dots/stripes of hot glue in and around the white glue and quickly join...the hot glue will act like nails to hold the stronger white glue in place while it dries.

You could also use glues that are "for plastics" (look on the tubes), or E6000, or for even more strength a 2-part epoxy glue or a polyurethane glue (Gorilla Glue, etc) though that swells while curing so must be clamped or weighted while curing (read instructions).
Most of those will work for polymer clay too, except perhaps for the weaker white glues like Elmers GlueAll used with a lot of stress.

When polymer clayers make small horns to be worn on top of the head, they usually just string them on clear elastic cord but do them other ways too. Sometimes they make them hollow to reduce the weight as well. I have some examples of smaller ones at my site, along with instructions on how to make and connect them in vairous ways, if you're intrested:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/Halloween_... (click on the category called *Jewelry & Wearables* then scroll to the bottom of it for info on "devil horns"

If you don't know how to make things hollow or with a lightweight armature inside, the easiest to explain way would just be to use scrunched aluminum foil, then cover completely with clay or leave the bottom open and remove it after baking (if using polymer clay).

How can I build a model of an adobe home for my son's school project?

My idea would be to get clay and cardboard. With the cardboard build an adobe style house. With clay (reddish and brown hue) cover the house on the outsidie and score it with a toothpick to create fake bricks. This will give it the look of an adobe brick house.

Just my two cents.
