Today we take a "virtual tour" across the pond as they say to the UK where Craft Critique
Fabrizio Martellucci shares his day at UK's Stitch & Craft trade show. Here's an excerpt that he shared about Friendly Plastic:
We stopped at another booth and saw The Frame Workshop & Molten Designs who are the main distributor in the UK for Friendly Plastic. I couldn't help talking pictures of the stunning creations made using that product. I have to thank my dear friend Maria Given Nerius who has sent me Friendly Plastic goodies when I won a competition on her Pajama Party Radio Show. I haven't used them yet but after seeing those projects from Molten Designs I definitely will give it a go in the near future.
