A head-measuring device is disclosed and includes a support frame. The head-measuring device also includes a plurality of movable arms comprising a first set of movable arms and a second set of movable arms. The first set includes a first outermost arm, the second set includes a second outermost arm opposite the first outermost arm, and each movable arm is movable between a first position and a second position. The head-measuring device also includes a stationary arm coupled to the support frame such that the stationary arm is approximately equidistant between the outermost arms as the outermost arms are moved between the first and second positions. The plurality of movable arms are parallel to each other and to the stationary arm. The first and second sets of movable arms are mechanically linked such that the first set moves synchronously with the second set between the first and second positions.

Hydrographic sheets and dip and decorator activity-kits are provided. The dip and decorator activity-kits comprise one or more hydrographic sheet formed of a water-soluble film, having decoration art formed from a non-aqueous ink or dye disposed on at least one side of the sheet, and an instruction for imparting an artistic effect to the article using the one or more hydrographic sheets. The hydrographic sheet leaves floating decoration art upon dissolution in water and wherein the floating decoration art comprises a softened and at least partially solubilized water-soluble film with decoration art for adhering to an article.

A device and method for making design on a substrate includes providing a device having a body defining an interior volume fluidly connected to an inlet/discharge opening, a fluid modification element arranged in the interior volume, the fluid modification element having a coloring substance and/or a liquid thickener. If the fluid modification element has the coloring substance, the coloring substance is configured to color liquid that comes in contact with the coloring substance. If the fluid modification element has the liquid thickener, the liquid thickener is configured to thicken liquid that comes in contact with the liquid thickener. The device is configured to draw liquid from exterior of the device into the interior volume through the inlet/discharge opening. The device is configured to discharge liquid from the interior volume through the inlet/discharge opening onto a substrate arranged at an area exterior of the device.

A method for applying base paint non-uniformly to a golf shaft includes: inserting a portion of a golf shaft lengthwise through an aperture in a paint applicator, the paint applicator having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, where one of (a) the aperture is non-circular and (b) the aperture includes a plurality of slits formed circumferentially around the aperture; actuating a painting apparatus, thereby causing the base paint to contact the golf shaft and the second surface of the paint applicator; and pulling the golf shaft lengthwise through the aperture in the paint applicator, thereby non-uniformly applying the base paint lengthwise along the portion of the golf shaft.

A system for watercolor painting, said system comprising a pallet of watercolor paint, wherein said pallet comprises a first watercolor paint and a second watercolor paint, and wherein the first and second watercolor paints comprise a dissimilar color; wherein the first water paint is adjacent, above, and parallel to the second water paint; wherein said pallet comprises a moisture content less than 20%.

A painting method produces a realistic depiction of light areas, dark areas, an appearance of reflections, color gradation, textures, form and space, and an illusion of depth by overlapping the 1st, 2nd and 3rd planes. The image is created as all these formations emerge simultaneously. An oil or water coating and a corresponding oil or water base paint are prepared. A base having a glossy smooth surface is obtained. Both sides of the base are soaked and then any excess liquid is removed. The coating is applied over the wetted, glossy, smooth surface and a layer of paint is applied over the coating. Paint and coating merged into s single entity. A tool is then used to redistribute the mixture of paint and coating to create gradients of color to complete an image.
