    Funny time on my hands a Pritt stick, TDK MA-R, unused photo frame plus a print look what I ended up with.

    Well I decided to see what I could come up with. It’s like being on Blue Peter. The British guys would get the Blue Peter reference.
    Anyway I came up with the attached image, rather than just framing an unused cassette.

    Before anyone starts screaming, the MA-R has had a good life and now it’s been immortalise as art that will go on my wall. Anyway not a bad way to go, with a good-looking woman next to it.:nwink:

    If it was really Blue Peter, it would have been "A glue stick, (with the manufacturers name carefully taped out), Cassette Tape (similarly with the name blacked out) unused photo frame and a print. I suspect Blue Peter wouldn't even have said say Compact cassette to avoid upsetting Grundig, Sony, or Sanyo. :ok

    Anyway, its not true Blue Peter unless it involves copious amounts of "Sticky Backed Plastic" (Fablon to everyone except Blue Peter presenters).

    p.s I'm thinking Blue Peter from the early 1970s. Maybe things were different later.

    Longman yes i was thinking "Sticky Backed Plastic" too but i could not work sticky backed plastic into the mix, maybe i could have used a cassette by "Yazz and the Plastic Population"

    Nah... why?
    Those were made in hundred thousands if not millions.
    Most have been already dumped, the rest will be once our generation is gone
    except maybe for some in museums.. & nobody will notice and care..

    Nicely done - I like it. :)

    Shared your work at my forum - now apart from me you've got one more admirer of your art, mate, in Russia. :)
