Rainbows Galore

January 2014

Sadie has gotten pretty skilled with her Rainbow Loom. For those of you who are not familiar with this phenomenon, it is just a piece of plastic with strategically placed prongs. Small rubber bands fit around the prongs. And, if you remove them in just the right way with a hook, you can make a bracelet. Or a ring. Or an earring. Or a gumball machine or turtle! So, here are some of Sadie's early creations. Enjoy, and click a picture to enlarge it.


Sadie comes with me to work. While I analyze data sets and write papers, she scours YouTube for looming ideas!


The gumball machine. Yes, it is made entirely out of little rubber bands.


The green gumball machine.


A bracelet made from the "fishtail" stitch.


An even fancier bracelet, with a little turtle charm.


My personal favorite ... Sadie made me a turtle to remind me to just keep going, slow and steady.


An earring.


Sadie made a bunch of candy canes for friends for Christmas.


A bracelet out of a ladder stitch. She carefully picks the colors!


The gumball machines are so cool we had to have yet another picture of them.


A different bracelet stitch with complementary pastel bands.


The humble Rainbow Loom ring!
