In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you come across any cracks or chipped ones, set them aside for a different project. Any cracks or chips will make create an uneven painting surface, which will make the shell harder to paint. If you don't have a beach near you, you can always buy shells from an art store. Some florists may sell also shells as vase fillers as well. Rinse them using warm water, and scrub them with an old toothbrush or manicure brush. If the shells are very smelly, leave them in a bleach solution for up to 24 hours. Keep in mind that the bleach may also turn the shells pure white. If you are using store-bought shells, then you don't have to clean them. A simple rinse may be a good idea to get rid of any dust, however. This is not completely necessary, but it will make the surface smoother to paint on. Choose an acrylic paint primer, and paint both sides of the shell. Let each side dry before adding a second coat. Watercolor is easily absorbed into the shell, and will be translucent when it dries. It will "dye" the shell a new color while allowing the shell's original patterns and designs to show through. It is best for solid-color designs and "tie dye" designs. You can also work with liquid water colors. They are more saturated and will give you brighter results. You will need to add a few drops of water to dilute them, however. Acrylic paint is opaque when it dries, and it will completely cover the shell. You will still see the shell's texture, but you won't see its original color or pattern. Acrylic paint is also great for layered designs, but you will need to let each layer dry first before moving onto the next. Choose a brush with fine bristles, such as taklon or sable. Avoid brushes that are made with horsehair or boar bristles, as they will leave behind brush strokes. You should also avoid using bushes that have bent or messed-up bristles. Consider having an assortment of brushes, such as a flat brush and a fine-pointed, round-tipped brush. You can paint just about anything on your shell, from animal faces, to beach scenes, to designs or words. If your scene is very complex, consider practicing it on a sheet or paper first. Having an idea of what you want to paint will lessen the chances of making mistakes later on.
Summary: Gather some shells and inspect them for any cracks and chips. Clean the shells, if necessary. Consider priming the shell if you plan on painting it a solid color. Choose watercolor paint if you want the shell's features to show through. Choose acrylic paint for fine designs, scenery, and solid-color designs. Get a good quality brush. Pick a theme.

Q: You'll need a few things to effectively clean your guitar. Gather up two soft cloths (you can use an old shirt, or even buy a cloth made especially for this), a spray bottle containing a bit of detergent and water, lemon oil, guitar polish, something pointy (like needle-nose pliers or a pen), and if your guitar has a shiny finish, a buff cloth.
A: Gather materials.

Problem: Article: Individuals suffering from a broken femur are encouraged to try exercises that may aid in strengthening the femur and restore its normal function. These exercises can be utilized to divert sensations of pain and regulate proper circulation of blood to different parts of the body, including the affected parts around the femur. You should discuss the suitability of all exercises with your physical therapist before trying them. Generally, the following exercises must be performed 3 times a day, provided that they do not contribute to increased pain: Doing hip and knee bends will increase the flexibility of your quadriceps and hamstrings, helping to restore mobility and function. Lie on a flat surface with the head elevated 30 to 45 degrees on a pillow. As far as is possible and comfortable, bend the affected knee towards the chest. Return to your starting position. Repeat this 10 to 20 times provided that there is no pain increase. This is a low-stress exercise that is good as a starting point for strengthening. Lie on a flat surface with a towel under the affected leg. Start by tightening the front thigh muscles (quadriceps) by pushing the knee in a downward motion into the towel. Hold for 5 seconds. Place the middle and pointer finger on the inner quadriceps in order to feel the tightening of muscles. This will make sure that proper tightening is accomplished. Repeat tightening the front thigh muscles and holding them for 5 seconds for 10 repetitions. Exercise and muscle movement promotes good blood circulation and oxygen distribution to the affected area. This will speed up the repair of the damaged tissue around the femur. This is because oxygen is essential for maintaining cellular integrity, function, and repair when tissues are injured. Most femoral fractures take four to six months to completely heal. Even with proper treatment, the length of recovery will depend on the severity of the fracture and the presence of other injuries to the body.
Summary:
Try physical therapy to regain your strength after surgery. Do hip and knee bends to strengthen the muscles. Try static quadriceps contraction. Know that exercise will help the healing process.
