In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: First, measure the surface area of your bone or ivory where you’ll draw your image. Then, scan your design to a computer or find an image of it online. Finally, shrink it down so that it’s slightly smaller than the surface area of your ivory.  For best results, shrink the image so that there’s about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of extra space on all sides. You will want a small detailed drawing to use as your scrimshaw design. A sketch-like image with good outlines and some shadowing is best for scrimshaw. This is technically not required, since you could also draw your design by hand. However, unless you’re experienced in this kind of art, it’s much harder to make precise outlines on such a small surface by hand. You’ll have to copy your image to a sheet of paper if you weren’t able to find a digital version of your design. In either case, have a copy of your design on a sheet of paper that you can place overtop of your piece of ivory. If you have to copy your image by hand, make sure draw it so that it’s about the size of the surface area of the object you’re working on. Place the ivory or bone on top of the design on the sheet of paper and draw an outline of the object over it. Then, cut out this outline so that you can easily place your design on top of the object. Lay your design face-down on top of your bone or ivory object. Then, wet a cloth with acetone nail polish remover and rub the back of the cutout with it very slightly. Continue doing this until the acetone has soaked through the paper. You don’t want to move it around on the surface, or it will smudge your outline. Discard the paper once you’re done with it. If the outline didn’t come off onto the bone clearly enough, use sandpaper to “erase” the etching. Then, wax the surface of your object and start the transferring process again.
Summary: Find an image of the design you want to draw and shrink it to the ivory’s size. Print the image or copy it to a sheet of paper. Cut the design out of this sheet of paper in the shape of your object. Place the cutout of your design on the ivory and use a cloth to transfer it. Lift up the edge of the paper and peel it back quickly.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To start adding your snowflake’s edges, you will need to move over to one of the chain two spaces. You can get to one of these spaces, by slip stitching into the outer edges of your snowflake. Insert the needle into each stitch and pull the yarn through until you have reached the chain two space. Next, chain three loops extending from the chain two space. Then, slipstitch into the chain two space. Staying in the same area, chain five stitches and then slipstitch these stitches into the chain two space. Next, chain seven stitches and then slipstitch these stitches into the same chain two space as you worked the last stitches into. This will be the central point of this spoke on your snowflake. After the chain of seven, you will need to gradually go back down in size. First, chain five and then slipstitch these stitches into the same chain two space as you worked the last ones into. For your last chain in this spoke of your snowflake, chain three and then slipstitch back into the chain two space. This will complete one spoke of your snowflake. You will need to repeat this process over each of the chain two spaces. To get to your next chain two space, slipstitch over to it as you did with the first space. Repeat your steps until you have edges on all sides of your snowflake. Follow the pattern of ch 3, slip, ch 5, slip, ch 7, slip, ch 5, slip, ch 3 slip for each chain two space. Take a pair of scissors and cut the yarn off near the point you ended with. Take care not to cut too close however, as you may risk unravelling the final part of the snowflake. Take the end of your yarn that you cut off and fix it to a darning needle. Next, weave the yarn in with the existing pattern of the snowflake. This will hide any loose ends and prevent the snowflake from unravelling. To create a loop to hang the ornament from, weave the yarn up through one of the spokes of the snowflake. Do the same with the other end as well and then tie the two pieces into a knot to form a loop.
Summary: Slipstitch over to the next chain two space. Start by chaining three loops and slipstitch into a chain two space. Chain five and slip stitch into the same space. Chain seven and slipstitch. Follow with a chain of five again. Finish with another chain of three. Repeat the process until you have completed your edges. Cut the thread when you’re done. Hide the thread end with a darning needle.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Blowing a kiss is a gesture that is well-understood in North American culture, but not necessarily in others. Be aware of your cultural surroundings or the cultural background of the person you wish to blow a kiss to. If you make the gesture to someone who doesn't understand it, you may be left in an awkward situation. In Brazil, for instance, the gesture of bringing your fingers to your mouth as if you kiss them signifies the enjoyment of a meal and not a sign of affection. Before you blow a kiss, make sure it is an appropriate situation and done in the right context. Blowing a kiss is often seen as a flirtatious gesture, which can be problematic in the workplace. It is also a gesture that you and the recipient of your kiss may not wish for certain people to see (e.g., gossiping neighbors.) Blowing a kiss is a bold statement of affection that you should think about carefully beforehand. A person who does not want to receive your affections may feel uncomfortable or harassed by the gesture. If there is any chance that the person will be made uncomfortable by the kiss, avoid doing it. For instance, if a person has already rejected your romantic advances, avoid blowing them a kiss.
Summary:
Be mindful about your cultural surroundings. Choose an appropriate time and place. Make sure the person won't be uncomfortable.
