@tyme yes it's 30 by 30cm. It took me ages to do but mainly cos I forgot about it. I've got another one to start now which is the same size.
Coasters would be so cool to make.

Otherwise, HAMA beads are cool too. The ones you iron. I've made some cool art with HAMA beads, but I don't have any photos. @Former-Member

Sorry! I don't know whose intellectual property I'm 'stealing'. Please forgive me in advance! Someone posted loom band animals on the forums (but I can't remember who!). I've been amazed with them ever since. So if it was you, feel free to let me know and the credit goes to you.
So to all those who are interested, here's an example:

@tyme i posted some pics of my loom band creations so maybe it was me. They are fun to play with but also fiddly and don't get me started when one breaks mid project 😂.

I’ve got loom bands somewhere @tyme. I don’t think I through them out. I might have to have a look for them

I found some pics that I've taken from my garden, thought I'd share them here for others to enjoy. Nature is truly beautiful 😍

Yes! Well it was someone, so it must be you @Former-Member Thank you for sharing. I was so enlightened. Even my niece was in awe.
I think I'd be too frustrated to work with loom bands. When I was a teen, I probably could. Now? Nope.
Yes @Former-Member , I know what you mean about one snapping mid project. My niece made me so many loom bands (I hate them), and I remember she made a keychain one for me. I had my keys on it, and you know with plastic, it rots in heat and becomes brittle? Well... I was out and this loom keychain suddenly falls apart because ONE loom band snapped... the next thing, I was walking with a trail of loom bands on the floor following me.
From that date, I said to my niece NEVER give me a loom band creation again!
@Former-Member @Oaktree @Captain24 , anyone know if there is a way to preserve the plastic on loom bands after you make the project? Hairspray? Glue?

Beautiful @Former-Member !
Photography is an art as much as nature!
Thank you for sharing.
