Sugru/Oogoo Design possibilities

I was mending some iPad charging cables with homemade Sugru and didn't consider the further possibilities until just recently.  Shown is my first test piece, a glass jar.  I had been thinking of making baby food jars into lunchbox snack-food containers that were shatter resistant and dishwasher safe. Sugru fits the bill for that purpose.

When I was mending my charging cables, the excess sugru stuck to my vinyl tarp used as a dropcloth.  Then I realized I can make iPad cases with silicone corners. I don't have to have all those fiddly shapes to sew to make openings for the speakers, audio port, cameras and charging port -- which is why I haven't been making iPad sleeves to this point.  fixing the tablet with flexible corner mounts is much better.

The sugru would also make a great stylus holder.
My ideal iPad case has a stylus holder, macro lens holder, bottle of screen cleaner, and charging cable storage. And of course the ability to prop it up, plus being an artistic statement. These attributes I will ponder.

My new Art Cards Site

alisonlait.yolasite.com

I have been thinking about making my iPad art for sale, so to get started I made this website. Right now I'm offering art cards. Once I figure out what the costs are for gallery-wrapped canvases I'll add that product, too.

You know what would be cool? a mashup of an old vinyl advertising tarp, sanded away or partially sanded away, then reinked with another design (by Yours Truly) to make an artwork. I'm going to have to approach the printing company where I get tarp scraps and see if they'll be amenable to trying this experiment. I haven't a clue whether it would work, I just want to give it a try.
