So, sometimes I have these ideas, and no real idea (or really, personal inclination) for how to implement them. Yet I know they are good ideas!

For example:

I was sitting at dinner last night with [livejournal.com profile] imlad and [livejournal.com profile] preraphaelite when the latter began to spin her water glass. "Waterspinning," someone remarked, and I immediately thought, "Water-poi!" Hey, if you can do it with one element, why not another? (Though Air Poi and Earth Poi both sound like distinctly bad ideas...I'm thinking practice poi with rocks in them - ouch.)

So I thought it would be neat to have something that 1) would be a lot safer for those who aren't all *that* good at spinning yet, and 2) would look cooler than beanbags in socks.

So: at the end of two chains or lines or whatever, you have some kind of malleable, yet strong, sealed plastic globes. Preferably, the globes would not be entirely solid, but rather would shapeshift a bit when you swing them through the air, rather like water balloons. They would also not be entirely full of water, so that the water could move within the shape.

Where the balloon-things attached to the lines, an LED or other light would be attached.

In the best possible world, the light passing through the shifting water would make cool swimming-pool-like ripply patterns on the body of the person manipulating the poi.

Certainly not as spectacular or death-defying as fire, but preeeeetty.

Anyone want to try and make some? Just remember, it was my idea.

(Unless someone else already thought of it.)
