Sticky Hand

 



Remember those sticky hand toys that seemed to multiply when you weren't looking? My kids brought them home from everywhere, and I found them stuck to everything, rolled up in dust bunnies, spread around in the dryer, or tangled in a kid's hair. But now you (or your kids) can play with one online, which won't leave a mess! Link -via mental_floss

I loved those things as a kid. When I was in college, my roommate's keyboard wrist wrest started to lose its fabric shell so we tore it off -- and the interior of the thing was exactly like those sticky hands. It was over a foot long, several inches wide, and an inch thick, which meant it could snatch papers and CDs and so forth from eight feet away. It stung like hell, too, so don't smack your friends. Well, okay, just not near the face.

I made one of these using paintwithpearl colour changing pigment.

It worked a treat - was super engrossing for my friends who may or may not have been tripping on a substance that comes on little squares of blotting paper.

Regarding side effects, when the cloth is dry it feels like breathing through a regular shirt - you're not inhaling any dyes or anything.

If you wanted to go really crazy, I bet you could find black thermochromic paints that change at a few different temperatures for a real lightshow. Imagine this with three layers: 75 degrees, 80 degrees and 85 degrees. It'd constantly be in flux.

I nearly died when I saw the end result. I am not familiar with the movie The Watchmen. The result was amazing. Well done. I hope it's safe to put that over the face. Thanks for posting.
