The Digit-al Dozen Does Childhood: Day 3 - Sticky Hands


If you begged your parents for a quarter every time you saw a vending machine, surely you remember those awesome hand-shaped sticky, jelly toys that were so much fun to slap against the wall.... until they lost their sticky after half a dozen splats!



These things were a staple in my toy box growing up! Even after the string came off and they were covered in dirt, hair, and who knows what else!

To paint my sticky hands, I watered down a few polishes with acetone in hopes of making them look a little more transparent and squishy. I used Dermelect Power Trip, Pixel Turquoise the Noise, Color Club Disco Dress, Nails Inc. Queen Victoria Street, and Sinful Colors Clementine.

Thanks!! It is a lot of fun! I didn't think I'd really like this theme at first, but oh the nostalgia!
I totally remember playing with these when I was younger. I used to stick them everywhere, they were so fun.

Hahaha! I'm sure I annoyed the crap out of my mom with that! I always wanted something out of the vending machine at the grocery store!
hahaha this made me laugh. Amazing. I used to always win those sticky hands at the arcade!

Oh yes. Arcade toys. Hahahahha!
These are really cool when sticky, but really annoying when the sticky is gone.
