Abstract: Apparatus and method for rapidly rotating a small enclosed transparent container and introducing a plurality of visually different materials into the rotating container to produce distinctive multi-aspect designs. The illustrated apparatus includes a support for releasibly holding one of the containers at a time for rotation about an axis, and a drive mechanism for causing the held container to rotate rapidly about that axis. The container has an entrance and the apparatus includes dispensers for selectively and sequentially introducing two or more of the visually different materials in flowable form into the entrance while the container is rotating. The materials have the capacity for maintaining themselves generally separate from the other materials in the rotating container. By way of example, the materials could be sands or gels of different colors or appearances. There may be a plurality of containers with a variety of different shapes.

Abstract: A paint formulation is disclosed which will paint snow without harming either animal or plant life. The paint may be pre-formulated in a powdered form as is prepared for use by merely adding water. A process of allowing one to paint or draw on snow whereby a coloring agent, such as food coloring, is mixed with a gelling agent, such as household gelatin, and applied with a spray or squirt gun. When the gel solution contacts the cold snow, the gel solution quickly sets up and is prevented from dissipating as snow undergoes partial melting. When snow melts, the gel liquefies and disappears with runoff water.

Abstract: A fan-shaped stamp pad that provides from one to a multitude of differently colored inks to a single stamp, at the option of a user.

Abstract: A method for producing printed layers of water color inks is disclosed for providing palettes of color which may be wetted and transferred. A specially prepared ink is printed in a typical printing process to produce a palette on a substrate for subsequent re-wetting and transfer by a user. The ink is preferably printed using silk screen or flexographic processes to produce a layer of ink on the palette which is sufficiently thick to allow it to be re-wetted and transferred. The method is particularly useful for preparing limited use palettes for use in painting kits. Such palettes provide water color paints having microencapsulated fragrances for painting "scent pictures". The use of traditional printing processes to provide a transferable palette of colors on substrates such as paper allows the cost of preparing such palettes to be substantially reduced, such that single use, disposable palettes are economically feasible.

Abstract: An art craft kit which makes it possible for a child to reproduce a painting, a map, or other multi-colored artwork printed on a master sheet having a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing, the master sheet being adhered to the face of a blank canvas or other copy sheet. The printed artwork is dissected into stencil segments, the periphery of each segment being defined by a contoured line of perforations. To reproduce the artwork, the child runs a pointed tool along the contoured line defining a selected segment, thereby cutting this line and separating the segment which is then removed from the master sheet to expose a corresponding blank segment on the copy sheet. Using the removed stencil segment as a guide, the child colors in the blank segment of the copy sheet to match as best he can, the portion of the artwork appearing on the removed segment. This operation is subsequently repeated until all stencil segments on the master sheet are removed and the artwork is reproduced on the copy sheet.

In this embodiment, a one-color outline is imprinted directly on the sleeve prior to positioning of the sleeve on the three-dimensional ornament.

Abstract: The color wheel palette includes a generally circular bottom plate with a raised annular shelf and a non-raised central portion, the shelf having a number of spaced color paint wells uniformly disposed therein which may contain color paints therein, while the central portion is divided by raised partitions into a number of color-mixing wells. The shelf wells are sloped downwardly and outwardly from their inner margins to help pool the paints therein. A generally circular cover plate of a slightly larger size and the same general configuration as the bottom plate is releasably stacked over the bottom plate to protect the paint. The cover plate has preferably three groups of three shallower color paint or color-mixing shelf wells which register with the shelf wells of the bottom plate. Each group is prefereably about 120.degree. apart and aligned with a different one of the three central portion color-mixing wells of the cover plate, which register with those of the bottom plate.

Abstract: For use in spin art decorating, the stretcher is constructed with an expanse of resilient material for supportingly engaging the undersurface of a section of fabric whose outer surface is to receive the liquid coloring agent. The resilient material is suspended by a rectangular rigid frame which is provided with flanges having a series of notches selectably engageable with pins at opposite ends of a carrier arm or beam thereby enabling selection of any one of a number of points for the center of revolution when the frame and article mounted thereon is spun. The stretcher facilitates even application from squeeze bottles of the coloring agents to the garment fabric that is mounted on the stretcher, reduces vibration during spinning, eliminates coloring agent build-up at the geometric center of the stretcher, enhances drying, and yields other advantages.

Abstract: A process whereby an animal or child can create a unique impression print without coming into contact with the printing medium. A non-toxic acrylic paint 8 is applied to a plywood paint board 10. Next an artist canvass 14 is placed face down and supported upon the four supports 12 mounted on the paint board 10. The support system holds the artist canvass 14 in place and provides a means of maintaining a physical separation between the painted paint board 10 and the artist canvass 14. The animal or child is then allowed to walk, run, play, eat or whatever on the back-side of the artist canvass 14. The weight of the animal or child causes the artist canvass 14 to stretch and touch the painted paint board 10 thereby transferring a unique impression print to the artist canvass 14. The process can be repeated any number of times to add more colors or more prints. Thus the animal or child can create a unique impression print without coming into contact with the printing medium.
