Green Rubber Wirey Thing.
In honour of St-Patrick’s day (who drove out the snakes from Ireland) I present you with the green thing trying to be a snake.
This is a very hard but super pliable rubber object that I believe is supposed to be a tool to help with drawing. Either for architects or just us plain ol’ artists.
I cannot google for its name as I don’t know what search terms to use. It has no markings.
Because it is bendable, reminding me slightly of that other bendy chap, I made valiant attempts to bend it into a four leaf clover. It sprung out of shape. But a semi-three leaf clover was achieved.

(yes yes, I made it more green for St-Patrick as well)
Status: Keep. Too much possible fun with bending and very compact, so little shelf footprint.
p.s. Thanks to CEO from book club for the reminder that a green thing would make sense today. I had a perfect image in my mind of the pistachio green Virgin Mary night light I owned, that alas, has either already been tossed, or escaped my cursory search through the closets.
Sláinte! Erin go bragh!
(thanks Nancy for the proper term)
I have a blue Staedtler Flexible Curve. Mine does not have measured increments. Always loved it, though never used it.
Excellent – the revellers’ clover, I love it.
It is called a “flexible curve”. There are also flexible curve rulers that are measured off in inches/centimetres. Used for drawing, of course, but more specifically, used in woodworking to help replicate the curves in furniture, etc. (what did we do before Google???) 🙂
Oh, “Sláinte!” backatcha!
Aha! A flexible curve. Makes sense that it is for woodworking. Thanks. Yes, indeed g0ogle is our collective memory. sigh.
B’gosh ‘n begorrah an absolute keeper! (Loopy shamrock makes for smiles like Charlie Brown’s.) May de luck o’ de Irish be wit cha on dis day ‘n all udders.
Delovely!
Dea – lovely.
