Friendly Plastic featured on Cool2Craft today!

Monday, August 2nd, 2010
I'm excited that I continually receive email from newbies interested in trying Friendly Plastic!!!  The learning curve is quick so you can make great art in a relatively short time.

On today's Cool2Craft Live I share a basic - staple - technique using Friendly Plastic.  I call it the "magic of marbeling" and this really is a WOW but very easy technique.


And to make it easy for you - I've assembled a kit which will include:

  • Jana Ewy's book - Friendly Plastic 101 - chocked full of wonderfully delicious Friendly Plastic jewelry ideas and more
  • 10 half sticks of Friendly Plastic (colors will vary - but will include all of our newest colors!)
  • Marbeling comb (not pictured)
  • 1 oz package of Pellets 
  • FREE SHIPPING!


    This kit includes shipping for only $24.95
    Hurry these kits sell out fast and I only have a few left!

    It’s Cool2Craft Monday – Basic Jewelry Techniques

    Monday, May 3rd, 2010
    I get more an more excited when I see all the great things that are happening online with the world of crafting. I sooo miss the days of craft tv...I miss Carol Duvall (personally AND the SHOW!)...I miss Aleene's Creative Living, my aunt June was a guest on Aleene's show...I miss everything about the way that Craft TV inspired all of us.


    Well...a bunch of us designers have gotten together and said...enuf is enuf! We took it into our own hands and while it is taking a bit of hard work to launch we are seeing the fruits of our labors.


    Im on each Monday with exception of a few - on COOL2Craft Live hosted by Aleene's daughter Tiffany Windsor. She's on a quest to gather together 1 MILLION viewers who think it's cool 2 craft! I know she can do it.




    Today I featured Jewelry basics and my latest book - Beading in No Time.

    Gotta get back to those basics.....as boring as we all may think they are...you can never practice them to much or ever stray away from them because everthing in life will fall apart if you do!

    While this isn't Friendly Plastic specific....it relates.  Why? because if you dont know how to put your Friendly Plastic pieces together to make jewelry...all you have is a bunch of Friendly Plastic pieces.....

    As soon as the archived link is available I will post it. You can go to www.cool2craft.com to watch any of the shows.

    I also talked about my latest venture...which is SOOO COOL! LIVE INTERACTIVE WEB CLASSES.  This allows you to take classes from the industries BEST TOP designers right from your own home.  Saves you money...saves us time...We get to meet and talk with you....and you talk back to us....We're all happy - Life is good.

    FRIENDLY PLASTIC TV- New Show – Alcohol Ink and Friendly Plastic Spring Fling Earrings

    Friday, April 30th, 2010
    I thought this month I would make a video based on my recent demo on Cool2Craft Live last Monday.

    Alcohol inks are one of the most versatile mediums I own.  The way their colors dance on the Friendly Plastic really gives you lots of opportunities to create customized sticks and sparks the creative juices!  That's a good thing huh???





    After I uploaded the video, I realized that I didnt give finishing instructions to the earrings. OOPS!

    Attach jump rings into each of the holes.  Attach an earring wire to one of the jump rings.  You can add beads to the earring wire if desired.

    I also attached a swarovski crystal danglie to the opposite end.  I like movement and the crystal I think adds a nice touch.

    If you are new to jewelry making - pick up a copy of my newest book  BEADING IN NO TIME (which received 4 1/2 stars from About.com! - read the review here)

    178 pages - 50 projects from beginner to intermediate.

    Monday, April 26th, 2010
     Im hoping you were able to join us on Cool2Craft Live today!  If you weren't....well dontcha worry one little bit because the show is archived!  (link will be posted just as soon as it becomes available ) - so check back.





     Dont forget about the FRIENDLY PLASTIC ADDICTS CLUB - A $62 value for only $30

    One of the biggest questions I receive on a daily basis is where to buy FP!  If you don't have access to a Hobby Lobby in your area, well...it's been a little challenging.  So to fill that need I have set up the FRIENDLY PLASTIC MARKETPLACE .  This will be your one stop shop for FRESH - NO SNAPPER Friendly Plastic and all related tools and accessories.  The site is in its infancy stages.  I am set to receive a huge order this week and will be setting up Color Packs of my favorite colors.  If you are a ADDICT...then you will receive a 25% discount on your order - all the time!  Also you'll be able to find out and sign up for FP Online LIVE and interactive Classes using this site.

    Thanks to all of our daily readers for your continued support.  I hope this enhances your experience.

    Tomorrow I'll be featuring more Spring Jewelry from your favorite featured FP artists...so stay tuned
