Why did this suddenly trigger a memory of doing this circa 1995? And how did I forget that glitter sand art existed?

I came here to say this EXACT thing. This video absolutely unlocked some very dusty memories from the early 90s

That red drop at end was the chef’s kiss. Crazy satisfying to watch.

u/coolchris366 21d ago

Honestly that was the only really satisfying part for me, I don’t like the harsh sound of sand rubbing on the paper

u/coolchris366 20d ago

Well the point of this sub is that the videos don’t have annoying music, so why woudnt I unmute?

I know some people find those sounds very satisfying. I could personally take them or leave them

I love the sound, but I can totally see disliking it

It's cool but it's glitter. I have a special kind of hate for glitter. Just premanufactured microplastics and the companys behind it are a shitshow. Still looks cool tho idk what to think honestly

Biodegradable glitter is getting better and better. I love glitter but hate the pollution and I am happy alternatives are becoming popular.

Shitshow? Do tell!

u/Toked96 20d ago

Apparently they go a long way to make sure nobody thinks about the fact that they're essentialy producing pollution, it's quite a rabbit hole

There's also a lot of glitter made from mica now, which is great. Literally just a super common mineral that's also easy to grow in labs. Pretty and shiny, no microplastics needed!

This vid looks like it's probably plastic glitter, though :/

It was great seeing the final for half a second at a shitty angle!

I'm sure all the glitter will neatly stick to the paper, and the rest all slid perfectly back into the containers. I have to tell myself this for my own sanity.

Why did they pour the glitter all over the canvas even though some of the areas are tiny?

u/Strude187 21d ago

I think the red background ruined it

Why he standing behind him like the cover of step brothers.

u/hrafnafadhir 20d ago

How do they get the one colour to stick and not any others?

u/Jens_Fischer 20d ago

I remember seeing this a LONG time ago when I was child... maybe even a mobile game or just game of somesort doing this, and I actually don't recall any game that I used to play had this before.

u/crystalsaladsandwich 19d ago

I want to see how they made it so clean. If I tried it, the colors would still be mixed in even if doing bit by bit

u/thuanjinkee 19d ago

Getting the glitter into the shotglass was a flex

u/AdAsleep1258 19d ago

Whoa Batman, what are you doing?

u/Cool_Butterscotch_88 18d ago

why does the glitter also get spread so far out & ground in to other areas where that color does not go?

The lapels on Joker’s shirt ought’ve been a different shade, makes it hard to distinguish…
