I Made A DIY Rainbow Roller Inspired By Nyan Cat

ADVERTISEMENT

Rainbow Roller is a roller that paints instant rainbows. Instead of painting a single color, the rainbow roller blends 10 colors placed in the VIBGYOR order into a beautifully blended rainbow to help make everything a part of fantasy-land themed world.

One day while just surfing around on the internet, I came across the nyan cat GIF leaving a trail of rainbow in its wake. That got me thinking about how to do the same in the real world. After a bit of trial and experimentation with different types of sponges and paints, I managed to create the rainbow roller as I had imagined it.

To celebrate same-sex marriage legalization in US, Facebook provided an option of changing your profile image to rainbow hues which became quite viral. So inspired by that, I tried using the rainbow roller over printed images and achieved the same effect in the physical world.

    I saw a roller like this in Hamleys in London many years ago. I want the #celebratepride profile picture editing in real life! So cool, well done!

    I couldn't find anything like this on the web. Googling Rainbow Roller shows a few illustrations and stock images of rollers with rainbows made on them manually for the image, but no physical product that was made to paint rainbows. So I imagined it to be original. Thanks for appreciating my work.
