I wasn’t sure where this one was heading at the beginning, but it’s been fun to explore so many little things from the last century that made me smile. I hope you’ve enjoyed this little trip down memory lane. The inability to shake my sketchbook in frustration until the page goes blank is probably a blessing in disguise. Today, instead of white knobs, I use my trusty fountain pen and some watercolor, but the concept is the same. It’s just about trying to get lines to go in the right direction so they make what I see, or a rough equivalent. I am an artist of many trades, but I am definitely known the best for my work on the magic screen. But it was so much fun to try to get the line to go where I wanted that I didn’t care. I feel the same about doodlewashing. I never mastered this toy and my doodles were not very good at all. When you were ready to start again, shaking it erased everything and gave you a fresh blank screen. If you moved them simultaneously you could get it to make curved lines.

Well, there are people out there who can make those, but I just settled for anything that resembled the thing I had in my head. One knob moved the line vertically and the other horizontally. Using just two little white knobs you could make a stroke appear on the screen and doodle a masterpiece. This was probably one of my favorite toys as a kid and it really did feel like magic. It is one continuous line that took over 100 hours. Views: 1711 Images: 34 Downloads: 0 Likes: 0.
