A beach towel that leaves your mark (custom made for the wealthy; generic symbols for the rest of us) by having first putting pressure on all areas of the beach towel. Merely smoothing it out won't do as good as a job than if you stamp out the whole towel with your hands or body, whatever. How is the
picture formed? The beach towel width (heighth?) changes in the appropriate areas in order to 'stamp out' your picture. Even cooler would be if one side looked normal, but when you (or spouse, girlfriend) lift the towel up (hopefully carefully enough to not spill sand over the picture) it would reveal some hidden message, or romantic picture, or breakup message...

Beach water mark. Wait a minute here ... |
|
| |
umm...isn't your spot on the beach already marked if your towel is there? I'm not entirely clear on how it works either. But a croissant for the breakup message idea. |
|
| |
Um, not a literal save-your-spot or mark your territory. Just make a picture saying, "I Wuz Here" |

Blacks Beach, north of La Jolla, nude bathing zone for San Diego. Leave your croissant marks - alright, bun prints - in the sand. |

See you there this summer ? |
|
| |
That's over three thousand miles, [normzone], and I don't feel like going to a jiffy lube... |
|
| |
If you leave now and drive very slowly, it will be warm by the time you get here. |
|
| |
Your profile doesn't say if you're a guy or a girl... *backs away slowly from normzone* |

It's alright, [ghillie], it was just an invitation to a full-body sunburn, I'm not hitting on you. For the record, I am afflicted with maleness. I wish I could find a fem who has the list of hobbies I have on my profile page.... |
|
| |
And if you enjoy the sight of tan unclothed human females, it might be worth the drive to you. Also some great bodysurfing. There is a hang glider port at the top of the cliffs, and if you scuba, there's a nice reef a quarter mile off shore. |

I hereby formally extend the invitation to all half bakers - BYOS |

Sorry to be so practical, but isn't dry sand a bit loose for
leaving detailed impressions? Do you need to include
some sort of binder dispenser to make the impression
stick together? Or are you supposed to use this in the
wet sand? |
|
| |
Hm. Good point [oc]. I'm sure it would work good enough on dry sand, especially when people lay there for hours on end... |
|
| |
What makes you so sure? I mean, sure, there may be an
image for a moment or two, as I recall, the texture of my
towel remains in the sand for a bit, but being dry, it
returns to plain old sandy beach really pretty quickly. |
