Just a bit of fun with this one, there's a bunch of 'H is for . . . 's' in this afternoon's post, but you never know; years from now this post may help you with a weird blob of multi-coloured silicone-gel in a mixed lot on an auction site somewhere!
I can't give you chapter and verse on the
technique as we didn't hang around longer than it took to fire-off three images
and while as first glance there seems to be the simplicity of putting coloured
gel in a mould, dropping it in water and . . . heay-presto!
However, there is the matter of the bag of
granules which might be 'soluble mix'
or 'solution mix' it's not clear and
therefore the suspicion is there are several steps to the process, which some
attendees had been having some fun with as you can see from the mess! The
granules look like models of flu-virus cells!
At the bottom of the tank were the results
of the effort of the prior-visitors to the stand - lots of coloured blobs, and
what I suspect were the efforts of the more practiced stand-holders, of which I
have identified three taken from the supplied moulds.
Like I said
- a bit of fun, but nevertheless figural! And we'll be returning to gels
before this year's Toy Fair 2020 season is over, whether I get it done next
week or drag it out 'till Christmas!
