Easy and Fun DIY Projects Using Scotch Tape Magic

Scotch tape magic is a term that refers to the various creative uses of Scotch tape in arts and crafts projects. Scotch tape, a type of adhesive tape that is transparent and easy to use, has become a popular tool for artists and DIY enthusiasts looking to add a touch of magic to their creations.

I have been contemplating writing this post for a while now, and I can't put it off any longer. I have been blogging for a long time, si.

is to be warmly applauded for having produced a work of such methodological scope and intellectual sophistication, a most persuasive work that ranks as a major contribution to the field. Also a lot of Friends of Dean Martinez , but Shadow of Your Smile is one of those weird albums that defies easy catagorization - sort of lounge meets surf meets Texas funk meets.

One of the most popular techniques in Scotch tape magic is creating tape transfer art. This involves applying Scotch tape to a printed image or photo and then gently rubbing it to transfer the ink onto the tape. The result is a unique, vintage-looking image that can be used in various ways, such as collages or mixed media art.

Roanoke: Grindhouse Edition (in octaNevisioN) (1 Viewer)

So we've been promising a Grindhouse Edition of our on-going Roanoke game (see our actual play thread). The game will take place next Monday and will be using the octaNe system from Memento Mori Theatricks, in Grindhouse mode of course.

I thought I would start posting some of our characters, because they've been pretty damn funny so far (for those who've followed the regular season, anyway.)

Dame Alice
Steely-Eyed Madame

Profile: There aren't many paths open in society to a strong-willed woman without a husband, and you fell easily enough in to the life of the Fallen Woman. But early on you figured, "Why should I be taking orders while my hard-earned money be going into someone else's pocket?" Might as well be married at that point. So you started running the show yourself. Now as the only game in the Roanoke Colony, all those lonely boys will have to come to you for the girls—opening up their wallets and their secrets.

Stamping Grounds: Streets of Southwark; Roanoke colony
Quote: "It may be the end of the world, but someone's got to keep this place civilized."
Gear: Dame Alice's Club for Gentlemen: a swanky, two-story building; little black book; pipe; large, silent bouncer Ricky; star girl Molly
Style: Charm, Ingenuity
Skills: Wrapped around her finger; Runnin' the girls; Takes no guff; Ear to the ground; Drives a hard bargain; Unflappable; Games master

Emme Merrimoth
Sexy Wild Child

Profile: Taught the old ways by Old Dame Agatha in the woods of Somerset, Emme had to flee the Merry Old England when her mentor was burned as a witch by the local populace. Emme was also wanting to escape the Good Ole boy her Uncle the preacher wanted her to marry. Like the Goddess Diana of old, Emme would rather run around in the woods gathering herbs and hunting game than sumbit to the rule of a man. But maybe the right man could tame her wild ways.

Stamping Grounds: The woods outside Roanoake colony.
Quote: "Ah Reverend, someday I'd like to invite your over for a nice cup of herbal tea."
Gear: Bag of herbs, Long bow, a slink greed dress, big silver knife.
Style: Daring, Craft
Skills: Medical Knowledge, Hunting with a bow, Making herbal remedies, Attracting the menfolk, Herbal Lore, Being Plucky

Lady Charity "Pirate Witch Queen" de Warwick, alias Capitan Caridad de Villaguerra
Swashbuckling Pirate

Stamping Ground: Spanish Main
Quote: "How nice to meet again in better circumstances. Prepare to die."
Gear: Rapier, two braces of pistols, outrageous yet stylish clothing, map of the Virginia coast, spy glass
Styles: Daring, Charm, Ingenuity
Skills: Fencing, swinging from ropes, sailing, speaking English (native = Spanish), ordering people around, lying like a rug, sharp-eyed.

(To be continued.)

And now for some pictures. Although he has not finished writing his character, Simon's player submitted a picture:

And here is one for Lady Charity:

Also, the GM promised to make chili and chips, as he always does for our octaNe games.

Let's re-post the official trailer for the game:

FADE IN: Medium boom shot of Roanoke colony on the shores of Roanoke island

VOICEOVER: "They were stranded on hostile shores, a thousand miles from home. Everyone expected them to die.

CUT TO: Rev. Ezekiel leading prayers in church.

REV. EZEKIEL (solemnly) : "And they shall know that I am the Lord, and I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them."

VOICEOVER: "But what they DIDN'T KNOW was that THESE Puritans. were PURE SAVAGE FURY!"

(As Rev. Ezekiel speaks a zombie rises up behind him).

REV. EZEKIEL: "And thus sayeth the Lord - SMITE WITH THINE HAND. "

(Ezekiel spins and delivers a punch to the zombie's face, knocking out most of its teeth)

REV. EZEKIEL: ". and STOMP WITH THY FOOT!"

(Ezekiel delivers a spinning back kick to the zombie, knocking its head flying. The zombie collapses and Rev. Exekiel straightens his vestments)

REV EZEKIEL: "And say - 'alas for evil abominations!'".

(Cue Grindhouse music)

VOICEOVER: "Deadly blades!"

CUT TO LADY CHARITY, dressed in slinky faux pirate bustier, holding a cutlass in either hand and killing Spanish pirates by the score

VOICEOVER: "Fast boats!"

CUT TO: BRAITH and PAIYN frantically poling their raft while behind them a giant fin gets closer and closer

VOICEOVER: "Powers from a realm beyond knowledge!"

CUT TO: SIMON BLACK working on a blade at his forge. He places the red hot metal on his anvil, then pours a strange liquid over the blade, which begins to glow with blue light.

VOICEOVER: "Non-stop action!"

CUT TO: THOMAS VESSEL, soaked in blood, pouncing on a CROATOAN indian and slitting his throat, laughing maniacally the whole time.

VOICEOVER: "And SEXY hoes!"

CUT TO: EMME MERRIMOTH and ALICE LANGSTON, in full Puritan garb, each hoeing a row in a field. Several CHILDREN OF JUMLIN burst out of the brush and charge towards them and they use their hoes as quarterstaves, doing acrobatic flips a la Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to fight them off.

VOICEOVER: "It's a black powder EXPLOSION of terror!"

CUT TO: HAUNCE WALTERS firing his harquebus, filling the screen with powder smoke.

CUT TO: BRAITH AND PAIYN running towards the camera with hundreds of SECOTAN indians behind them

CUT TO: REV. EZEKIEL leading prayers in the main square. Everyone is ragged and covered in dirt, and several bodies can be seen scattered around. The group is lit by flames from the burning stockade.

CUT TO: LADY CHARITY, dagger between her teeth, swinging from the rigging of a ship to land on the quarterdeck and engage CAPTAIN DIEGO in a sword fight.

CUT TO: EMME MERRIMOTH in the forest at night. She is backed up against a tree, while from the darkness hundreds of yellow eyes stare at her.

CUT TO: SIMON BLACK, standing on Braith's raft,. with a blacksmith's hammer in each hand, swinging at hundreds of tentacles that are emerging from the water.

CUT TO: ALICE LANGSTON opening an old chest found buried in the forest. A golden glow emanates from inside. Behind her a shadowy figure rises, holding a sword.

CUT TO: HAUNCE WALTERS. One arm has been severed above the elbow, and SIMON BLACK has just finished mounting Haunce's harquebus in its place.

VOICEOVER: "ROANOKE! ISLAND OF BLOOD! Coming soon to a theater near you! This film is not yet rated."​

Can I just say in passing that my guess is that this is either going to go down in gaming history as one of the coolest ideas ever - or turn into a total cheesy nightmare?

Or both? (Kind of the "Plan 9 From Outerspace" of roleplaying).

Another popular use of Scotch tape in art projects is creating tape resist paintings. This technique involves applying tape to a surface before painting, creating a barrier that prevents the paint from adhering to certain areas. Once the paint is dry and the tape is removed, the result is a crisp, clean design with defined edges. Scotch tape magic is not limited to traditional art forms; it can also be used in various DIY projects. From creating custom stickers to adding a decorative border to a picture frame, Scotch tape can be a handy tool for adding a touch of creativity to everyday objects. In conclusion, Scotch tape magic is a term that encompasses the various ways in which Scotch tape can be used in creative projects. From transferring images to creating tape resist paintings, Scotch tape offers artists and DIY enthusiasts a world of possibilities. So next time you have some Scotch tape on hand, think outside the box and explore the magic that can be created with this humble adhesive..

Reviews for "Discover the World of Washi Tape and Scotch Tape Magic"

1. Amy - 2 stars - I was very disappointed with "Scotch tape magic". The tricks performed by the magician were very basic and not impressive at all. I felt like I could have just watched a tutorial on YouTube and learned the same tricks myself. The overall performance lacked creativity and wow factor. I would not recommend this show to anyone looking for a mind-blowing magic experience.

2. John - 1 star - "Scotch tape magic" was absolute rubbish. The magician seemed amateurish and unpolished. The tricks were poorly executed and I could see through them easily. It felt like a waste of time and money. I would advise people to stay away from this show if they are looking for quality magic entertainment.

3. Lisa - 2 stars - I expected so much more from "Scotch tape magic" and was sorely disappointed. The tricks were predictable and lacked any element of surprise. The magician's performance was also quite dull, and he had no stage presence. It felt like watching a magic show for beginners. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who appreciates sophisticated and mind-bending magic tricks.

4. Mike - 2.5 stars - I attended "Scotch tape magic" with high expectations, but unfortunately, the show fell short. The tricks were average and didn't bring anything new to the table. The magician's delivery was lackluster, and there was no sense of excitement in the audience. It was a mediocre experience overall that left me unimpressed and wishing I had chosen a different show to attend.

5. Sarah - 1 star - "Scotch tape magic" was a complete waste of time. The tricks were so simple that it made me question why this show even existed. There was no complexity or innovation in the magician's performance. I wanted to be amazed and fascinated, but I left feeling bored and unimpressed. I would not recommend this show to anyone who wants to witness true magic and skill.
