I just went down to metal work to ask whether it would be possible to make the toy in there using the vacuum former. I have clay at home so thought that if I made the shape then vacuum form it then stick the two halves together leaving a space to funnel the liquid in and then seal up. But, he said that he just doesn't think that it would be water tight and probably not possible.
But it is a good thought if I did want to test out putting different objects inside the toy. As I was thinking of trying out putting in different human things inside, like plastic eye balls or photographs of the owner.
Anyway, so I went down to ceramics to ask the same question. He said that potentially we could give it a go out of resin. He as well isn't sure as to whether this will work at all. I am booked to go down next Thursday to try some samples using simple shapes and to bring a long some coloured dyes with me to play with. If I can't have the liquid motion timer effect I would maybe test out putting things into the resin.
Things that I could put into the resin (which is clear) could be items that represent why people collect. E.g some people collect for the social element of it to make friends and online communities so I could put in a friendship bracelet to express that. Another idea could be to do with people who are objectum sexual and could put in some hearts.
