"...Ok, you inspired a bout of Googulation....<br /><br />"That cool, refreshing glass of water on a hot day may appear colorless, but water is actually a faint blue color. The blue color becomes visible when we look down into, or through, a large volume of water......<br /><br />It is often easier to appreciate water’s intrinsic blue when looking at large bodies of water, such as lakes, seas and oceans, when we are able to observe how sunlight changes color as it travels through a significant depth of water. When circumstances eliminate the reflection of blue skylight, it may be possible to observe that water is not entirely colorless."<br /><br />Found here: http://www.webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/5.html<br /><br />So you've "deepened" (ahem!) my understanding of the subject!! But for small amounts like teacups or teardrops or even streams, transparent will look much more believable. <br /><br />This has been a Public Service Announcement.Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-41600028326404154882009-07-11T00:52:04.189-07:002009-07-11T00:52:04.189-07:00Hmmm... well, it's possible that water, like a...Hmmm... well, it's possible that water, like air, is slightly tinted blue, but it only shows up in large quantities. <br /><br />I hope your drinking water there in LA isn't blue!!! <br /><br />You're right, in large bodies like oceans or lakes, it does appear blue, maybe more than can be accounted for by mere reflection. But streams still look completely transparent to me. I don't know about any rivers near you, but the Mississippi looks... um... brown!! But then that's why it's called the Muddy Mississip. A kind of stupid abbreviation, since for such a ridiculously long word it only cuts off the last 2 letters/1 syllable!! <br /><br />I can still remember the AHA moment for me... I used to draw water blue (and wondered why it always looked so WRONG!!) until one day I saw a painting (actually a page from a graphic novel called Tell Me Dark) by Kent Williams featuring tapwater running into a sink, and I think he must have taken a digital pic or maybe recorded some video and drawn from that reference, because he perfectly captured the transparency without the slightest hint of blue... he used only greys. It forever changed the way I think of water visually. But for oceans or lakes, yes, bust out the blue crayon!!Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-15267046927223688792009-07-10T13:56:57.966-07:002009-07-10T13:56:57.966-07:00Oooooo, can't wait, Rich!

Any fish most welcome, gotta fill that sea scene with goodies from everyone!<br /><br />Katie, absolutely great for miniatures and goes completely dry if you freeze and then let thaw all the way back out. You'll LOVE IT! Be sure to include a mailing address in your email to me so I can send it.<br /><br />Yaz, of course, you gel water is already in a pile for your package! D'uh! (American for "of course, silly!")<br /><br />Yes, that could be the same stuff, Tony, I just can't tell w/o seeing. So.... you want a sample? You know what to do>> addy for a fish ransom.<br /><br />Hi, nyx creations, ANY KIND OF FISH!!! I have received happily everything from professional animation puppets to pipe cleaner shapes from children! Nothing turned away! I want the scene to be filled with fish from all over the world, all kinds of artists, everyone joining in!!! <br /><br />If you mean what should the fish creature be? That's something anyone can imagine for themselves. Ideally something that is a pun, like "tiger" shark" that is a fish that looks somehow also like a tiger, etc., that sort of fun.<br /><br />It can be made in any manner and any material, it just should be smallish, about 4 inches long or so. A little larger perfectly ok, just not huge.<br /><br />It could be paper, fabric, rubber, foam, metal, anything!<br /><br />Thank you for asking. Would you like to try some gel water too?<br /><br />Your pack mails today, Rich J. Please let me know when you get it so I can gauge how long it takes.

Not sure if it's the same - comes from the UK.<br /><br />It was one of the first things I found while searching though so I'm almost positive you've seen it as well... but best to be sure right?<br /><br />Once I finish my task at hand there are a few Targets around here that shall be plundered.

I was not able to check out your blog just for couple of days while I was travelling and there are already 3 posts with all the comments. Great progress on water material. What you did with the material looks absolutely amazing!!! I LOVE the tear drop and I can see her crying real! <br /><br />I would really love to get a pack of gel water. I dont think I can find that material here in Turkey. Is that possible for you to send me one inside that package you were going to send? I am still travelling and hopefully I will be back around July 20th. I will let you know as soon as I am home.Yazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412650843983585175noreply@blogger.com
