i make these buckminster fuller-inspired buckyballs from ice-cream cones, then deploy them in unexpected locations as a kind of biodegradable graffiti. this is a how-to video with original guitar composition by julian mock (please see julianmock.com or iTunes for more info). more odd works of ephemera at alycesantoro.com.

    you can make royal frosting (egg whites, confectioner's sugar) and use that instead of glue...it just takes longer to dry. also, i have been experimenting with using various home-made wheat pastes..while i would not eat it, it is far more palatable than hot glue.

  • the interesting ...

    the interesting thing is that buckyballs are one of the most sturdy bonds (a buckyball made out of carbon atoms would be harder than a diamond)so I imagine that these buckyballs, if not bothered, can last for quite the time :P

    it is easy to make your own glue from a variety of edible substances including wheatpaste, egg whites, corn syrup, etc. just google "edible glue" for info.

    also, there's a company in england called postpack that sells biodegradable glue sticks! i HIGHLY recommend them.
