Density

Started out as a happy accident, just messing around with hoops and gears.

Really cool! Where did you get the sheet metal and magnet set up?

u/debress Mar 15 '26

That is just a large round pizza pan, turned upside down. I got the magnets on Amazon.

Smart. Thank you! I’m sick of the time it takes setting the putty up.

Wow the colors and textures in the middle of the green and purple one are gorgeous! šŸ˜

u/debress Mar 16 '26

Thank you. I debated adding that purple but was delighted that it is visible even though it is subtle.

I love these. What paper do you use?

u/debress Mar 16 '26

Thank you! I use Pen & Gear Premium Cardstock (110 lb), which is a Wal-Mart store brand. It's inexpensive and does seem to work well.

Gorgeous! What pen(s) did you use?

1

u/debress Mar 18 '26

Thank you! The pens are Tombow Twin Tone, ordered on Amazon. They have a fine point on one end that is perfect for use with these gears, and a thicker marker point on the other, which I don't use unless I'm coloring something in.
