Fun little project! Doesn't look like much in the photo, but makes a great movie. It took us a while to find the right bottle; needs a cylindrical shape with a tapered neck to develop waves that move well. Ours is only a pint, but a nice coffee-table conversation piece. Made for OZ/NZ swap for Dec. 2008.
