Duct Tape Artist
Melody Williams, 17
Greers Ferry, Arkansas
As you can see, Melody's hobby is duct tape art. Her creations
include shoes, clothes, jewelry, cards and sculptures–even a model of
Shakespeare's Globe Theater (which later became a home for her pet
turtle, Shelley).
Most people aren't quite sure what to make of Melody's
fascination with duct tape. "They laugh and mock me, "she says, "but
they always come to me when they need an adhesive."
Laughter isn't the only "difficulty Melody encounters while
pursuing her hobby, "Duct tape is very sticky," she says, "When I was
making my skirt, I had a lot of problems with it sticking to itself in
places it wasn't supposed to. Also, wearing duct tape is slightly
uncomfortable. It's stiff and difficult to breathe very well"
Not that any of these drawbacks have diminished her love for the
"handyman's friend." She's even written a song about it:
I have to say that my world is gray,
not because of compromises made
or morals in the shade,
but because of a sticky tape
and the way it takes shape.
There are so many uses
and not many abuses
of this great sticky mess
