Abstract
A device for creating a colored design including transparent light-transmitting receiving wells for receiving and holding colorants, the wells being disposed in a grid-like plate adapted to hold the wells. The device also including a colorant material transfer device for transferring colorant material to the receiving wells. The colorant materials may be liquid or solid materials.
Claims6
A device for creating a colored design including in combination:
- a honeycombed plate comprising a generally flat upper surface from which descend a plurality of adjacent transparent colorant-receiving wells having open upper ends at said upper surface and closed lower ends, said walls being spaced from each other in a grid-like pattern on said plate,
- light-transmitting colored fluids adapted to being selectively received in and held by the respective wells to form a light-transmitting design or pattern, said plate including an attachable colorant supply tray for receiving said light-transmitting colored fluids and having a tray attachment hook edge for attaching said colorant supply tray to said plate, and means for transferring said light-transmitting colored fluids from said colorant supply tray to said colorant-receiving wells to form said light-transmitting geometric design or pattern.
A process for creating predetermined light-transmitting geometric designs or patterns utilizing a supply of a plurality of differently colored light transmitting fluids, said process comprising selectively placing light-transmitting colored fluids, chosen from said supply, within a transparent design tray having a plurality of adjacent wells, said wells having closed lower ends and open upper ends, and said wells being spaced from each other in a grid-like pattern in said transparent design tray, to create said predetermined designs or patterns.
