The Return of Salt & Pepper Part I (Show us your shakers!)

**gwpriester** · 12 May 2001, 04:29 PM

To take a break after doing the Zippo, I thought I'd take a whack at a S&P set. I did two. Here is the first. A GEL set.

I figure this has got to be my entry into the Millionaire's Club. You see, Macnoids buy anything with the GEL look. And because I only used one opening on each shaker, these are perfect for the non-Macnoids who have to watch their salt and pepper intake.

Maybe this is not as elegant as Jay's set, but my shakers have a built-in marketing plan and unbeatable strategy!

I'm off to open a Swiss bank account.

This design is based on Phil Endry's disc design.

If it doesn't work as a salt and pepper set, we can always change it to a portable radio, or an aquarium, or ear rings, or... :-)

Anybody else care to post their designs?

Gary,

great effect, but can you guarantee the gel won't melt down if hit by sunrays? Gel salt or salted gel - maybe you should offer them as candies or sweets for kids, substituting salt with sugar.

'Lick SugarGel on a stick - and feel like a Mac'. However, this might have a drawback: Mac users really might purchase the SugarGel on a stick, lick it and lose the rest of their brains...Jellysticks suck :-)
hahahaha

Just for the fun of it!

Fiesta! (and gel of course)

C'mon Xartists. Let's see your S&P shaker ideas!

Soquili could do a set of corn shakers, Ross a pair of eyeball shakers. Big Frank, and or Egg, a set of Worm shakers (yuk!). Risto a set of flat graphic shakers. Steve from Canton, OH a set of spiral staircase shakers. Bruce a set of space shakers, Graham, a set of beveled shakers. Paul a set of cartoon shakers, complete with window pane highlights, Mr. Tao Jones can do the other set of cartoon shakers.

How about it?

Jay-- Gel Pepper? I think not!

Ok Gary
I will accept your challenge. Now I will probably be up all night tonight doing space shakers. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Hi Gary,

I like your Gel shakers. The shaker challenge is also a geat idea. Here's a quick attempt at Corn S & P shakers. (I don't want my boss to find out what I really do all day [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] )
