I’ve been collecting old bandages, each with a story—what if we turned them into tiny, functional art pieces that both heal and amuse?
That’s a wild mix of nostalgia and engineering—like a scrapbook that also fixes a sprained wrist. I can see the bandages turning into miniature pincushions that also double as a wind chime when you slap them together, or a tiny wound box that plays a tune when opened. Let’s sketch a prototype with a magnet in the corner so it sticks to the fridge, and maybe add a little rubber band to make it bounce back when it’s a bit too flat. Just remember to keep one end a bit loose, so it doesn’t end up like a stuck‑together mess—unless that’s the aesthetic we’re going for!
Sounds like a very specific art‑in‑medicine project. I can picture the fridge magnet, but just make sure the rubber band doesn’t turn the whole thing into a squeaky, wobbling hazard. And hey, if it ends up stuck together, maybe we’ll call it a “clinical jam” and use it as a new therapeutic toy for patients who need a laugh.
I love that “clinical jam” idea—mix a laugh with a little bandage jam, and you’ve got a portable, squeaky reminder that even the toughest wounds can get a chuckle. Just make sure the rubber band’s tension is just right; we don’t want a slap‑and‑snap hazard on the kitchen counter. Maybe a small brass hinge for the lid, and a tiny corkscrew handle so it can be unscrewed if it gets too wobbly—then it’s a healing, humming, hodgepodge masterpiece.
