We used to have fun coloring balloons/rubber gloves with sharpies and blowing them up for wonky indoor volleyball. Fingernail polish remover is great for removing permanent marker stains, especially from skin and hard, non-porous surfaces. Tastes awful though...Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140091913979058269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-637326058062419512009-06-26T23:39:43.403-07:002009-06-26T23:39:43.403-07:00Thank you for the award Lisa!

I don't remember how long it took but it shouldn't take over an hour or so, just watch it. Just be careful with the bleach, wear gloves and watch out for splatters. Check out ebay for used projectors, and you might check with a local university/college visual arts department for used film or access to 16mm or 35mm projectors.<br />I saw this on 16mm film at the Panoply of the Arts festival in Huntsville, AL around 1984. I started doing this with my 8mm film the next year or so. I collected exposed 35mm film and scrap 35mm film for a feature but lost about 150 ft of film during a house move.joelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-22535206859700314522009-06-18T07:32:36.942-07:002009-06-18T07:32:36.942-07:00Hi KM - my eldest is good with markers of all kind...Hi KM - my eldest is good with markers of all kinds, and has been trained to put the markers away "on a high shelf" when she's done. My middle is in a strange Let Us Make Handprints phase and will color her palms with any medium she can get her hands on. So she's only allowed washable markers. My youngest sucks nibs so she isn't allowed any markers at all. She hates this, of course, and will scream her protest, but better the screaming than permanent lipstick is what we believe. <br /><br />P.S. The quilt is awesome!LiErhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13022645291278425282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-11387284966863573632009-06-17T08:02:02.745-07:002009-06-17T08:02:02.745-07:00Hi Joel, The packing tape movie reel project we di...Hi Joel, The packing tape movie reel project we did was based on the stripping of film you're talking about that I did when I was a kid. I don't have access to the materials required though and the small kids needed a bigger canvas than the 8mm film provides, so we improvised with packing tape and a projector from Goodwill.<br /><br />Is it regular bleach that you use to strip the film? I'd like to know, so if I find the gear cheap we can do this proparly when the kids are older. I have fond memories of doing this project at a local art gallery when I was a kid.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07169632319172011782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-80456880368017768252009-06-17T06:38:12.852-07:002009-06-17T06:38:12.852-07:00If you have a film projector and film, bleach the ...If you have a film projector and film, bleach the film until it is clear and then draw on it with permanent markers. When it is run through the projector their scribbles and dots are animated and come to life. 8mm film is getting hard to come find but you might find it in rummage sales or the like. 16mm maybe, but if you have access to a 35mm projector, you can use any 35 mm camera film, bleach it and tape it together.joelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-47467962040867126342009-06-17T06:14:18.255-07:002009-06-17T06:14:18.255-07:00I've let my daughter use permanent markers, al...I've let my daughter use permanent markers, also closely supervised. My 18mo is definitely a permanent marker no-go, particularly as he still occasionally decides to taste markers. Gel pens are quite permanent without the smell, but of course you can't color beautifully with them the way you can with the markers.<br /><br />I love the art projects you showcase in this post. The quilt idea is probably my favorite, but they are all wonderful.MaryAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253503049272771754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-55193588373003800442009-06-17T06:06:19.785-07:002009-06-17T06:06:19.785-07:00What a great way to follow up Wall-E.

I get so excited every time you have a new post. <br /><br />This is awesome. My oldest is almost 3, but we are still not using permanent markers. (He calls them "big boy markers"). I think he would be okay with them if I instructed him not to color on his face (which he's used to doing with washables because its a./okay and b./fun). My one year-old still sucks on markers, so we'll have to wait a year or so for him.<br /><br />I am so excited by all your cool projects!! Thanks for sharing them.Heather - Dollarstorecrafts.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961561421180532049noreply@blogger.com
