Wood glue dripped into an acrylic tank of water. I would only get one or two usable shots per series of drips, so it was a lot of emptying, washing, and refilling. Squeezing hard or soft, holding the bottle close or far from the surface of the water, and things of that nature contribute to how the glue will look. I used two cheap lamps to light either side.

Great shot Greg, and I'm glad you shared the set-up as well. (Now to buy some cheap glue ...)

That is so cool, and some of the sections could be cropped and isolated.

The fifth drop from the right looks human.


Thank you. bw!

I presume you set the camera to autotake several shots in a row?

Nope. Since I was dripping the glue with one hand, and using a flash light in the other to add some extra light, I wound up using my big toe to press the shutter on the remote I had taped to the ground!

Glad to see everyone is diggin it!

I'm gonna have to print this thing huge, at least full size (10"x40") but maybe even double that. Anyone have experience with any printers that do sick work? The only one I know of is Duggal in NYC.
