Balloons are great, I’ve had some good fun with them over the years and socks are just one of those excellent inventions. So I thought why not bring the two together? By inserting a balloon into a sock and inflating, the sock stretches to its fullest capacity.
I then thought if I coat them in clear resin the socks could remain in that shape. I didn’t have enough time in the day and the resin I used didn’t harden quick enough so I improvised.
In my resin testing at first I was trying to get the balloon out but then decided to let it stay in as it stuck to the inside of the sock when I pop it, giving an extra layer of strength but also adding a colour.
I will continue this one and make a sock lamp collection.
oh,lovely. this work is crazy. in a very good way.
Excellent. I hope they sell Halloween socks where you live. I will wait for the chandelier.
love it!
Doesnt the heat from the bulb make the balloon pop?
I have already popped the balloon. The resin in the sock stiffens the sock.
And I thought Dr. Seuss was so creative…apparently, he was just drawing socks all along :~P
Would it work with rubber gloves?
you would need a lot of puff
