Okay I've got some clay, still in the packages, and I'm going to make some gifts for Chrismas, and paint them, :)
So...
I wanted to know mostely,
1. Does clay go 'off' when it's wet..? last time I had some, (ages ago) I came back to it, like maybe a day later... And they had these fungii growthes on them! (It was wrapped up, but not air tight in it's packet.)

2. Will it look nice if I paint it? The paints are just wilkos ... I couldn't find anything else !! (There was no propper paint for clay)

And lastly do you have any advice so that my clay doesn't look naff... How long till it dries and how to wrap it up, how to store it?

I want to buy a gold coin, but I am confused over, whether it's the face value printed on the coin is more important in determining the selling price, or the weight and purity of gold are more important in determining the selling price?... Given all other condition same, e.g. mintage. I wanna buy something which is really worth the intrinsic value.

I'm a newbie in gold coin collection, I don't even have 1 yet, but currently looking at some coins to buy, which are those issued by government mint yearly to mark the new year.

So now I'm assessing the value of gold coin, not sure which one to buy.

In some countries, the word BEITZ is used to describe pigmented powder that dissolves in water or alcohol. The resulting liquid is what is called a wood stain. What does Beitz mean in German (or other language) or is it the name of a long gone product?

I need to make light weight, realistic looking ax blades for not very much money. Any suggestions on what material I would use? It would be nice it they weren't bendable either. I don't want the actors or crew to accidentally whack them against something and have them bend.

Can someone please help me with these directions? especially the 45 and 90 degree one.
To make the best (In my humble opinion!) paper airplane, just follow these simple steps. First, get a plain piece of new (or at least mostly new) paper. Printer paper will probably work just fine, as it has the right amount of durability and strength, but still is easy to fold.

Then, with this piece of paper, fold it once lengthwise, aligning the edges so it is folded perfectly in half. Smooth over any creases. Then, take the one of the corners of the plane, and fold it over, perfectly, splitting the 90 degree angle into a 45 degree angle. Fold this again on the other side, replicating what you did on the other side as well.

This step is very important, so make sure you don't miss this, and make sure you fold it correctly. It is basically done by just taking the corner, and folding it down to match the bottom line, then smoothing over any creases or rough spots with your hand as you fold.

Now, you'll repeat this two more times, on each side, being careful to keep it as evenly folded as possible. To do this, fold this area over again on one side, and on the other side. Fold it one last more time on each side. And smooth over any creases or rough spots in the paper.
