Friendly Plastic Image transfer

I think this may be my favorite technique so far. At first sight, it looks just like a wild piece of jewelry. Gorgeous to say the least....but there's more to it than it just being a piece of wearable art.




The center of the pendant and the earrings came from this photo:



And that photo is my Chico's t-shirt that I scanned in. So....Now I have wearable art that matches the top I'm wearing. Beyond cool!!!



Simply melt Friendly Plastic pellets and run them through the pasta machine. Yep, while they are still a little warm. Then you do a fimo gel image transfer from a laser print to the pellets. You got it.....Friendly Plastic pellet image transfer.



(OK, I'm trying to dangle my earring so you can see it! LOL) Linda made the pendant, I made the earrings to go with it and I tell you.....I feel like I just accessorized with a million bucks! Let's face it....not just everyone has jewelry that literally matches the clothes they are wearing. I can see myself doing this for every new outfit I get!!!

Another amazing reason to play with Friendly Plastic pellets!!!

Now, if you want to see how badly we trashed my studio this week (I call it my studio on steroids!!!) pop on over to Linda's blog and wait for the video she just completed!!! And don't forget to check the Friendly Plastic blog....the buzz is growing by the minute!!!

Friendly Plastic Teasers

Sometimes a photo is worth a thousand words. But tonight, since I've just returned from a "girl's night out" and overdosed on chocolate.......perhaps photos are better than words! LOL!!!

Left over scraps - not too bad, huh?


Image transfer - yep - to Friendly Plastic!  Oh! Wow!!!

It's going to be a bracelet...so check back in a few days!
Layered Friendly Plastic...this one is going to be for mom:

My version of "spash"

My "altered" spash.....so simple, but I truly love this. I think it looks like watercolor:

Is this gorgeous?  My sister, Colleen, designed these molds for Krafty Lady and you can buy them from After Midnight Stamps.

Friendly Plastic on a wood bangle which you can pick up at After Midnight Stamps as well:


A couple of inlaid pieces....but I decided to keep the one on the left not so inlaid.  The blue and white petals are a blended technique.


And a whole lot more that I haven't finished, haven't started, need to work on....there just aren't enough hours in the day to play!!!

Well.....after all, we took a few hours out today to have chocolate!  Oh!  What fun!  I think I'm ready to play until midnight once again!!!
