Sometimes, things appear online that just amaze me. This is one such example. Entitled “How to Create a Packing Tape Sculpture” in WikiHow, shows how to use a “doll” as a way to make one that appears to be a balloon. Well, I can see how these instructions are worded, perhaps someone was plotting a kidnapping:
Choose a valueless object with a simple surface area such as a toy doll or a ball.
Wrap the object completely in clingwrap.
Tape over it with packing tape.
Using a pair of scissors (or a razor knife), make an incision in the tape cast and cut a seam to allow for the original object’s release.
Creating a sculpture doesn’t have to require an expensive trip to the art store for sculpting materials and tools. Did you know that you can use packing tape to make sculpture casts of objects such as toys, household appliances, or even yourself? Tape casting is a “dry” and quick process and a good alternative to paper mache. Here’s how to enjoy this creative art form.
I can only imagine how a young child could be flipping through the web, actually, just logging on, the Google Personalized page has got it right there in the “How to” of the day. Is this the most valuable use of that real estate?
