INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You have several options when choosing a modelling clay to sculpt your face. Each clay is different, so choose the clay that best suits your purposes. Ceramic clays are water-based and easy to work with right out of the bag. It needs to stay moist while being worked, as it can dry out and crack. Ceramic clay can also be fire hardened to make a permanent sculpture. Plasteline clay is an oil-based clay that doesn't dry out, and can't be fire hardened. It is popular with special effects crews for its ability to hold high levels of detail. Polymer clays require an armature, or a wire skeleton, for support. They are weaker than other clays, but are good for painting. Polymer clays can be fire hardened, though they are not as hard as ceramic clays. Aside from the clay, you'll need a few other things before you can start sculpting. A good, clean working area is necessary, as are a few tools to help you add detail to your sculpture. You can buy sculpting tools from most craft stores. You don't have to buy specialized tools for sculpting. It may be possible to find other utensils that serve the same purpose. The main functions of your tools are to cut, scrape, and shape the clay. You can use sewing needles to draw fine lines in your clay, and add detail. If you know the person whose face you are sculpting, take pictures of them from all angles. Try to get some good straight shots of your subject looking straight at the camera. Take some from the side as well to get a good profile. If you're basing your sculpture on a famous person, find photos on the internet and print them out. Make sure you have a variety of angles to get a good idea of the person's proportions. It may help to draw some grid lines on some of your photos to help you see the relationship between facial features. Think about how you want the person to look in your sculpture. Think about who they are, what they do, and why you want to sculpt them. Use these questions to add emotion to your sculpture. Do a rough drawing of different expressions to get some ideas for how you want your sculpture to look. The drawing doesn't have to be perfect. It's just a tool to help you plot out your sculpture.

SUMMARY: Choose your clay. Gather supplies. Study your subject. Sketch your design.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place a piece of painter's tape on the wall roughly where you want the object to be. Then use the measuring tape to measure the height of the exact spot. Mark it on the painter's tape using a pencil. The painter's tape will help keep the plaster from cracking when you drill into it. Use a drill bit that is narrower than the width of the screws you are using. For instance, if you are using screws that are 0.25 inches (0.64cm) wide, use a drill bit that is 316 inch (0.48cm). Drive the bit into the wall at the spot you marked. Work carefully, holding the drill at a right angle to the wall. Plaster is hard, so you will feel some resistance. That resistance may increase if the drill enters the lathe (the wooden support that holds up the plaster). Switch to a screwdriver attachment on your drill. Drive a screw almost all of the way in. Leave a bit of distance between the screw head and the wall surface. Wrap one end of a wire tightly around the screw head. Attach the other end to the hook or support on the object you want to hang. Adjust the wire length until the object is at the height you want. Some objects (like many picture frames) will have a hole in the back that you can set directly on the screw to hold it in place. Use a level to fine-tune the placement of your object.

SUMMARY: Mark the spot where you want to hang the object. Pre-drill a hole. Drive a screw into the spot you marked. Hang your object.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Royal icing is one of the most popular sugar cookie icings. This simple recipe only calls for three ingredients and takes 7 minutes to make. The recipe yields 3 cups (455 grams) of icing. Only use fresh, refrigerated egg whites with fully intact shells to prevent the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. Combine the pasteurized egg whites and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat the ingredients together with a mixer on low to medium speed. Continue to beat until the mixture appears frothy and light. Measure out the sugar and add it to the bowl gradually, 1 cup at a time. Use the mixer's lowest setting. Continue to mix until the sugar is fully combined. The mixture should look shiny. Set your mixer to its highest setting and continue to beat for about 5 to 7 minutes. The mixture will become stiff and glossy. If you want icing in colors other than white, divide small amounts of it into separate bowls, then add the food coloring of your choice to each. Add a few drops and stir well. If you want the color darker, add a few more drops. Make sure you put icing on cookies that have completed cooled first. Transfer the icing to a pastry bag and pipe it on as desired. A heavy duty storage bag will also work great for piping, simply clip the corner and proceed. Place any leftovers in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator. Use within 3 days.

SUMMARY:
Gather your ingredients. Beat the egg whites and vanilla together. Add the confectioners' sugar. Add food coloring (if desired). Ice your sugar cookies.
