Vinyl Bowl |
|
|
|
While at my visit to Chicago Art
Institute for a summer coarse, Erin Winch showed me a very interesting idea.
Vinyl has a very low melting point. It can even warp in the heat of the sun!
Well why not take a vinyl record and melt it into the shape of a bowl? Here
is the adventure... |
|
|
|
 |
|
First you must find some cheapo wacky
record. |
|
|
|
 |
|
A glass bowl a little smaller than
record is needed. |
| |
|
 |
|
You will also need a can of something. |
| |
|
 |
|
Preheat the oven to bake at 200 degrees. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Put the record on your head for good
luck. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Place the record on top of the glass
bowl and center it. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Place in heated oven and place the can
on top of the record. |
|
|
|
 |
|
The record should start to warp like
so. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
This is what you don't want to
happen. If the sides fold over the glass bowl, then the can cannot push the
record down. Therefore you need a bigger glass bowl. Pressing it all down
helps too. |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Push the can down every so often to
make it a deeper bowl. |
|
|
|
 |
|
And POOF! PRESTO! WALLA! Just let it
cool down and harden. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Celebrate by eating some Equal tea
sweetener. |
|
|
|
 |
|
And your life is now complete. |
|
|
|
 |
|
It can hold girl scout cookies or even
almonds! |
