This invention relates to a method of making a sculpture from a sculpture kit which includes a container with a lid and an elongated thin, twistable, resilient or springy strip of paper-like material forming a sculpture when twisted and removably attached to the kit container lid with the container forming the base of the sculpture.

A system and method for an amusement construction system offering simple, safe, and efficient features and solutions unavailable in any other amusement construction system. An anchor body supports one or more extensions, each extension may include one or more semi-flexible loops. The loops are semi-flexible in that they may be deformed to pass through another semi-flexible loop while springingly returning to the undeformed state which is rigid enough to maintain a desired level of coupling. A decoupling strength is related to how easily the semi-flexible loops deform sufficiently to pass through a loop to which it is coupled.

Disclosed are texture hammers and related methods for using the texture hammers to create textures on metallic materials without distorting the material. Such hammers may comprise having a handle and a hammer head with a first end and a second end. The first end may have an oval, square, inverted triangle, triangle, or any other shape, and may comprise indentations on the surface to create a texture. The second end may have a rectangular, triangle, or any other shape, and may also comprise indentations complementary to the indentations on the first end. The texture hammers may be used to create different textures by varying the angle the hammer strikes the material, dragging the hammer head across the surface of the material, or creating a texture border on the material.

A rotary platform device comprises a rotatable platform; a rotatable annular base disposed at the bottom of the platform. A top surface of the platform has a plane for placing objects, and the platform has an annular first groove; the annular base is disposed inside the annular first groove and is capable of rotating circumferentially along the annular first groove; a plurality of first balls is rotatably arranged at regular intervals on the annular base circumferentially along the annular base, a top portion of each first ball attaches to a top wall of the annular first groove and a side portion of each first ball attaches at least one of two side walls of the annular first groove. The rotary platform device of the present invention enables synchronous guiding and driving of the platform, such that the platform can rotate relative to the annular base more smoothly and stably.
