Problem: Article: Mix bronze powder with a quick-drying spar varnish according to the package directions in a plastic or glass bowl. Stir the liquid bronze thoroughly to prevent particles from settling in the bottom of the bowl. You can purchase liquid bronze at a hardware store or print supply company. Hold the shoe by the wire loop with your non-dominant hand. Then use your dominant hand to apply a thin coat of liquid bronze to each shoe with a camel hair brush. Start on the top of each shoe and work your way down the sides toward the sole. Make sure you paint all of the shoe's surface area, including any part of the shoe's inside that is visible. After applying liquid bronze to the shoes, allow them to dry. Hold the shoe by the wire loop you inserted, and then hang the wire loop on a hook or nail. You should let them dry for at least ten minutes, or longer, in between coats. Once the shoes dry from the initial coat of liquid bronze, look to see if there are dull spots on the shoes. This is an indication that the bronze has soaked through the shoes and you will need to apply at least one more coat of bronze. You will likely need to apply several coats of liquid bronze to each shoe until both shoes are shiny and completely covered in bronze.
Summary: Prepare the liquid bronze in a bowl. Apply a coat of liquid bronze to each shoe. Hang the shoes to dry. Apply additional coats as needed.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a pencil to draft your message on the sign. If you have images or symbols on your sign, layout the text so that there is space for images. Try to use large sized fonts so that people will be able to read it from a distance. You could design your sign in Microsoft Word or Adobe Illustrator, print it out and use the printout as a guide when writing the message on the sign. If you have to start writing the letters really small on the edge of the sign, people are unlikely to read it. Start by outlining the text. Then, fill in the text with darker colors that contrast with the background color or imagery on the sign. Paint markers work great for writing text on protest signs. You can get paint markers at art supply stores. Repeat this process on the other side of the poster board. If you are expecting your protest to receive any form of media attention, you should design a double sided sign. Some of the best protest signs use font colors that reinforce the message they are trying to convey. Dark colors are often used to emphasize the gravity of a message. A rainbow of colors can be used to represent diversity, such as the use of a full rainbow of colors to represent the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community and pride parades. Consider your font or text color in relation to the background design of your poster. For instance, you may want to use black text against a white background or blue text against an orange background, as opposed to yellow text against an orange background. The writing should be reinforced by the image or symbol used on the sign and vice versa. Some of the best protest signs use imagery that supports the text written on the sign, such as the use of the symbol for female alongside a text saying 'Women's Day March.'

SUMMARY: Layout your text on the sign. Outline the words with paint markers. Design the font color. Use a strong contrast between font color and the background design. Make a connection between the text and the image.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: After your garlic has grown for 5-6 months, begin inspecting the plants every week. Look to see if the leaves near the base of the plant have started to brown and wilt. Once these leaves are wilted, brush the dirt away around the garlic cloves. If the bulb is large and the cloves are fully formed, use a trowel to dig around the base of the plant. Once the soil is loose, physically pull the plant out of the ground to harvest your garlic. If the garlic won't come up easily, use your trowel to dig 36 inches (7.615.2cm) underneath the bulb. This will tear up the root system and make the garlic easier to pull up. It's typically pretty easy to pull garlic out, though. This method applies to every variety of garlic, although some species will dry out a little faster than others. Typically, the larger the bulb, the more time it will take to dry out. Take your garlic stalks and set them out on a table with the bulbs all facing down. Pick up your first bulb and knock off any large clumps of soil or dirt by hand. Repeat this process for every garlic bulb that you've harvested. If you have any garlic bulbs with missing or exposed cloves, set them aside for immediate use. These cloves have likely already dried out in the ground. If they aren't already dry, they'll naturally dry out in your kitchen soon. Do not wash your garlic. You're going to peel it before using it, and you need to remove moisture, not add it. Hold your first garlic plant by the stem near the bulb. Cut the roots off at the bottom of each bulb with shears or scissors. Leave as many of the leaves on the stem as possible. Continue this process until you've cut the roots off of every garlic bulb. Don't worry about removing every single root. So long as you remove most of them, your garlic will turn out fine. If your stems are no longer green, feel free to trim them before doing this if you'd like. Each bulb will continue to get nutrients from the stem as it dries, but if the stems are already brown and wilted, there's no real benefit. Select a location in or near your home that won't be exposed to direct sunlight and has a consistent temperature of 7580F (2427C) so the garlic dries thoroughly and quickly. Basements, sheds, and boiler rooms are excellent options so long as the temperature in the room is stable and there aren't any large windows. You can dry garlic in a cooler location if you need to, but it will take a little longer to dry out completely. If the temperature in the room exceeds 90F (32C), your garlic may begin to rot or sprout new stems. If possible, choose an area with good ventilation. It's more important that the garlic stays warm and out of the sun, though. It doesn't really matter if you dry your garlic vertically or horizontally. If you're drying your garlic on a table, set each garlic plant out flat so that the bulb is hanging out over the edge of the table. You can also wrap twine around a group of 3-5 plants and hang them up on a hook or plant cage to store them vertically. Leave your garlic indoors and out of the sun. Do not move or disturb the garlic while it dries. Wait at least 10 days before checking the bulbs to see if the skin is brittle and flaking. The garlic is done drying when the cloves are hard and the skin on the bulb is flaking and brittle.
Summary:
Harvest your garlic after 6-8 months when the lower leaves dry out. Knock the dirt off of each bulb with your hands. Trim away the roots with shears or scissors. Select a warm, dry location to dry your garlic out. Hang your garlic bulbs up or leave them out on the table. Wait 10-14 days for your garlic to completely dry out.
