    Yeah, I've seen the fruit bowls. Another one (and I'll have to get back to you with more info on it) was a line of sunglasses this guy made using old records. So when you hold it at the right angle in the light you see the vinyl grooves in the frame - pretty cool. The guy who started the line used to be a DJ...

    Wouldn't those warp in the sun?



    A friend of mine has started a phenomenon in the stencil art world known as Vinyl Killers

    That vinyl killers site is nice. A guy from Belgium made some stencils on records:

    Hang a right at the private mind garden, gather the four elements of hiphop, turn left at the internet going nuts, and boom, you're there.

    A handy wrist or ankle bracelet

    Stupid question. How would one go about making the bracelet?

    My guess...... use a heat gun, get the vinyl nice and floppy, then cut it and bend it. You need something to hold the shape while it hardens back up. I bet when hot the vinyl could be cut with siscors.


    Couldn't find a pick, but a couple years ago I saw small CD rack made from cut/glued records. That was just a little too ironic and sad.

    Word, but um...

    "use a heat gun."

    Am I the only lay person who doesn't own a heat gun?

    Maybe I should just slice a slab with an exacto knife, throw it in the toaster, bend that bitch, and let it dry.

    That CD rack sounds sad.

    The bracelet looked like it was a label attached to one of those snap bracelets you slap against your wrist and it tightens up around it (your wrist) from BITD.

    I don't own one either, but they aren't very expensive. I supose if you just want to make 1 or 2 for yourself you could put the record in the oven for a few min. Don't know why I didn't think of that before the heat gun.

    this is my contribution to the world.

    carry on.

    I have already done it for my own gift-giving, and have been planning for years to try to make for sale, wrapping paper out of this:

    It looks sad, seems big & bulky to hold about 10 CD's, would probably look better holding some 45's

    You wouldn't be alone, either...I just don't know how to do it legally, it could be a licensing mess of amazing proportions...I wanted to do a whole series with different label's inner sleeves, although the Atlantics are best suited, and there are variations...stay tuned...

    The kind of person that'd buy that will probably never own more than 10 cds...

    That's like incest.

    Or maybe cannabilism.
