Those look like good replicas. I'm glad you were able to make them. Soon we'll flood the market with Soylent Green Tea!
I once used the London Underground map to navigate London aboveground. It was certainly possible, but involved walking well out of my way in several occasions since the map is abstracted to make the lines and stations readable.
Really? That's awesome! There was always a doubt that the barcode would work. I obviously couldn't test it (actually I thought of printing it out as a sticker and putting it on a different box of tea to see if I could buy that, but I ended up just trusting in the miracles of electronics).
Nah, I just like to make stuff.
Whole Foods Cambridge, MA, River St.
It was rush hour shopping when I did it, too. I went in, picked up a basket, and reached into my bag and put the package in the basket. Then I went to the tea isle, picked up a different kind of tea, examined it, then put it back, and put my box on the shelf. I was very sly. And then I took pictures. Yeah, that was weird.
There's an article in Make magazine about un-pimping your bike so it isn't a target for thieves.

Mold: Smooth-On OOMOO-30 tin-cure silicone rubber
Yolk: Super Sculpey polymer clay
Cast: Castin' Craft polyester resin
Until I sanded it down, the cast was still a little sticky. I think I didn't use enough catalyst, because I wasn't sure how "thick" it was going to be, according to the directions. Did thickness mean height or width in this case? I let it cure for two full days, but I still left fingerprints in it when I touched it. Maybe that was a case of reacting with the Vaseline, because once I sanded and buffed it (I love my Dremel tool) it wasn't sticky anymore. Next time I'll also make larger air vents and pour hole (I'm sure it would help to cast those into the mold instead of cutting them out later as I did).
