| Name on rice pendant |
With a steady hand and lots and lots of practice and patience I have managed to master the art of rice writing. Recognised as a symbol of good luck, prosperity and fertility (but we will ignore the last one!), writing on a single grain of rice dates back to ancient times and originates from Ancient Turkey and India.
Currently I can comfortably write 16 characters on a single grain of rice (eight characters per side), which covers most names and messages. However I am slowly aiming for the record of two hundred characters, made by a man in Turkey a long time ago and written with a strand of hair!

Amazing, I wish my boyfriend would write my name on a grain of rice :(
ReplyDeleteThat's not an easy thing to do, well done! i saw a programme recently (sorry can't remember the name of it) hosted by Richard Hammond where they managed to write on a strand of hair - thought not quite as inpressive as your s they did it with lasers!
ReplyDeleteI always wondered how they did this, do you have to use a magnifying glass? :)

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this in years!!!!! When I first saw these being sold in Ocean City Maryland, back in the 1980's I was impressed. I am also impressed that you now offer this technique! It seems to have made a come back!
