Here's your chance to mention an object that you want me to use in an image to be posted here on Bent Objects. The last winner was Ice Cube, which gave me a lot of trouble, but I persevered! I've just now recovered from that one, so I think I'm ready for another.
The usual rules-
The object has to be something inexpensive (cheap), or something I probably already have around the house (No, I don't have an I-phone, so a big "no" to that one).
Mention one object that you'd be interested me incorporating into an image. Warning- I only count the first one that you mention.
Finally- Vote for an object that someone else has already mentioned, so that we get some sort of voting process going on.
Attention! Polls are now closed. No more comments allowed.
------------------------------------
I also have a question for you experienced Youtube, Vimeo, etc. people out there. -
What's a good little camera that would be good for that kind of stuff. I would like to start making some videos about Bent Object images as they are being made.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

I've seen you use raisins and wine but I've never seen you use grapes. I can just imagine the possibilities. Keep up the good work. I love your work.
I like the grapes.
This time of year at my house - it is the ubiquitous, and hard to give away - ZUCHINNI!!!
mmhmm, does it always have to be food? how about a pocket watch, a swiss knife? or maybe earphones..
I envision wine with the grapes that Cat b mentioned...
A crochet hook.
:)
Or handheld hold punch.
Or a piece of velcro.
How about one of your stages (aka the backdrop, camera and light) after hours. That might be kind of fun to see what they do when you go to bed.
How about a permanent marker?
The velcro idea is pretty good, too.
I'm an animal person so how about a dog or cat toy.
I like the stage after-hours as well.
Some sort of pasta - ravioli, lasagna noodles, elbows?
I like the hole punch already suggested.
Have you ever done a pin cushion?
I also like dog/cat toy.
keys
after hours
I'd like to see you use two halves of a stick of gum...like ripping a piece of gum in half, making them separate objects doing something.
And I vote for crochet hook!
Incandescent or Compact Florescent light bulbs.
I also want to vote for an "after hours" scene.
chapstick!
Since you're diving deeper into the technology age - how about an old school 5 1/4" floppy disk.
or band-aids!
Glasses?
A can of shaving cream and a disposable razor
well im tied between the stage after hours and the gum idea that Medic61 mentioned
my suggestion/idea would be a floppy disk seeing as how no one uses them anymore( no offense to someone who does) and they're pretty cheap now.
How about a funnel?
I like the floppy disk idea, too.
My suggestion: a sticker (any kind really, of course I'm partial to skate stickers)
My vote for a previous mentioned item: "behind the scenes" (cam, props, tools, etc.)
Really like the "behind the scenes" idea.
How about different soda cans? Especially Coke vs Pepsi?
A Pringles tube.
How about a nice fresh apricot?
I like Sarah's suggestion of band-aids.
knitting needles and yarn
the crochet hook was a good idea, but I also like the sharpie and velcro suggestions!
A vote for velcro.
Suggesting records - like, 45 RPM or 33 RPM - remember those?
pressed wild flowers?
I also like the after hours idea.
What about a watermelon? I know, it's kind of big, but it would force you to think, for sure.
I like the disposable razor thing.
#1 popcorn.
There's the buttery, carmel or the ever popular orange cheese coated.
I didn't see a previous mentioned that jumps out at me....
#2 Obama vs. McCain political signs.
I was actually going to suggest a handheld single hole punch, but that one was suggested already! So that's my vote!
a computer mouse
an award medal (like for valor and that junk)
a tennis shoe
a tube of ointment (didn't you already do that?)
cherries
and I like the idea of popcorn kernels, the combo of popped and unpopped is intriguing.
I like the velcro idea.
What about a guest soap taking a bath? I wonder if you get a 'ooloured' [rust] image.
BEER BOTTLES!
My suggestion: a tea bag!
I also like the chapstick idea :-)
a stapler.
everyone loves a stapler.
+ they're a little malicious.
vote for the bandaids.
another option: batteries
I like the pin cushion.
About a quick and dirty youtube video camera... you could try the flip video camera. If you want something more upscale, best to write one of the people who has produced a youtube video you like and ask them directly. That is what the web 2.0 community is all about.
My suggestion is a homemade popsicle.
seashells
oh yeah ... popsicle! that is good.
How about a scene involving (melted) chocolate and strawberries?
I second the popcorn/popcorn kernal suggestion.
Oh, I love the stage idea!
OOOH I like the after hours scene or the floppy disk and I submit a clothes pin.
cat/dog treats
I love the shape and color and general bumpiness of avocados, so that's my suggestion.
I really like the idea of Chapstick, though, since I have about fifteen in pockets, drawers, purses, the car, under the couch . . .
I'd like to see a peppermint. Love your art.
Jewelry, that would be a toughie
I vote for the pincushion idea.
What about a cassette tape? Does anyone still have those lying around anymore?
Loving "Behind the scenes" although it could be anything, not just your studio. I also would love to see a coke vs. pepsi pic.
My suggestion: Spy vs. Spy! Remember those old Mad comics? I loved em!
Abster
Hey guys! Thought I'd mention that I've done chapstick-here, and a pincushion too, but I'm too lazy to look that one up.
Stephanie s needs to refer to your "Really Bent Objects" blog to see the tea bag. Hilarious!
My personal suggestion would be a spark plug.
My vote for an already suggested item would be the hole punch.
Keep up the great work, Terry. Your idea for making videos during the creation process sounds awesome. I picture some kind of sped up film with a keystone cops type of music. Can't wait to see it if ti happens.
Rubberband ball.
And I vote for the watermelon. "Big and fat" are too easy. Gotta make it sexy somehow.
Tell us what you get for the video. I've been thinking the same myself and will be interested.
I vote for Iberg's suggestion of 'after hours'.... wish I would have thought of that!!
My suggestion... coffee beans! Only because I don't think you've used them yet and I've suggested them the last couple times.
On with the blather!
Oh, Des Moines has a art fair that's ranked #10 in the nation last I heard.
rubber band ball is a pretty good idea i think
An old Nintendo or Atari videogame cartridge.
I also like the idea of the single-hole punch.
How about a stack of post-its?
I vote for the Swiss army knife. I'd love to see what kind of monster you could make out of that!
shoe string
and i like bandaids
pair of dice?
How about a Rubber Duck?
I vote for the velcro so far.
Hi,
I found out about you via rhettandlink. I just want to say that you are very creative.
My nomination is (srry if you already did this...i'm new): bubbles, like the stick that makes bubbles. I know it's not food, but...
As far as second question:
any camera will work, for a while I used kodak easyshare cx7430, just a normal little digital camera. I recently got a sanyo xacti.
Pasta sounds like a good idea...
my suggestion: A tv remote control.
Around the holiday season I'd like to see a candy cane.
I got a Flip Video Ultra and it is easy to use and pretty darn nice.
Dog tags. (like the military spec ones)
I do like the after hours studio idea too.
Use Q-tips in your next photo shoot! Also, the "after hours" idea is great!
an insole
A twig and as previously mentioned pressed wild flowers.
camembert cheese ?
I like the floppy-disk-idea. CD or DVD.
What about a garlic press? I like how you have used kitchen items in the past.
And my vote goes to the "after-hours" idea
How about a challenge to take, say, a maximum of $5 in quarters to wherever in your 'hood has a selection of prize-y gumball machines? Pick what you like, but use everything you buy.
Anything knitting related so needles, yarn, stitch markers, etc. I found this blog yesterday and it's just GREAT!
magnets?
vote for funnel
How about a tape measure? Any kind...
a floppy disk sounds fun.
Velcro or keys both sound full of possibility...
Have you ever done bottles of nail polish? They look kind of snooty to me.
I vote for the knitting needles--they have to spend a lot of time in close contact and I bet they get on each other's nerves.
How about a marble?
My vote is for the 5 1/4" floppy disk.
D'oh! I found the pin cushion here. A great one from the archives!
Cell phone (non-iphone--just a normal one)
I vote for the already said Post-it Notes.
Although Popcorn is a close one.
The old NES or Atari tape idea is my new favorite, for sure!
Try cotton balls!! You can fluff them in all kinds of ways.
I like the pasta idea too.
Dried Apricots
A paperclip of this kind: http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/object/5644797_bulldog_paper_clip.php?id=5644797&refnum=828809
I like the suggestions of a crochet hook, or a stack of post it notes. Some kind of autumnal thing could happen there...
Bacon. Everybody loves bacon. And that would be a challenge, eh? Plus you'd get to eat your mistakes, so everybody wins!
Standard C9 or C7 Christmas light bulbs.
Scissors
after hours
A Sharpie
Wedding rings?
And my vote for the previously mentioned pet toys.
Can't wait to see it!
Polyhedral dice
my idea is "water balloons" inspired by the recent inundation of bladder control medication commercials using them
I vote for the lightbulb idea (pun intended)
I'd like to see you struggle with MATCHES ( a book of, or a single match; preferably lit).
Second choice, I vote for the lovely clothespin.
My suggestion is a baby pacifier.
And I really dig the BACON idea.
Plastic Bread Tabs....any shape or color
I like the marble idea, too.
Pez dispenser?
A roll of BreathSavers... getting ready for the ladies. ;)
I second the idea of the trashy toys in the gumball machines. Or even the little domed containers that contain the toys.
Love your work Terry!
a charcoal briquette!
in addition to voting for popcorn, i'd like to suggest a war between plain/buttered popcorn vs the caramel/candied varieties
My idea is a bouncy ball,
I love the "after hours" idea too!!
A comb.
.
Oooh, charcoal Briquette. Brilliant! I say glue.
How about computer keyboard keys?
I also like the back stage/after hours idea and the spark plug.
I love it when you use game pieces, and I would love to see you incorporate the game of "Trouble." What did the dice do to get themselves locked up in that plastic bubble any way? Isn't popping them around cruel and unusual punishment?
I like the gumball machine toys idea!
I am envisioning a salt shaker and a battery out shopping and it being entitled, "Assault and battery charges."
Oh man, you really got my mind working after I looked at your blog. You are awesome, to which I'm sure you already know.
How about a receipt?
I also like the after hours suggestion.
A kipper! Of course. Want me to have some assorted seafood shipped over to you? I can and will, if you so wish ... hell, I'm 41 and you KNOW what happens at 40 ... we all go daft!
I assume you've done a paper clip and will therefore not mention such an obvious item. Oops, I just did. Whoops a daisy.
Previously mentioned ... hmmm ... I like the Post-It notes idea. And the after hours. Anything really ... just keep 'em coming!!
Maybe a disposable lighter .. something fire-breathing or fire-worshipping??
Crochet hook and velcro could be cool too ... I really like your work and have enjoyed your presentation of it.
