Sunday, May 16th, 2010
I am always taken back by the beautiful artwork of Karine Colliginon of BijiouxArtCreation!  In her latest facebook update she shared photo's of one of her Art Shows.  I couldn't resist sharing these with you!  I think my favorite is the one on the upper right corner......no wait...the middle one in black and silver...oH Oh....and...well...Actually they are all my favorite! Seriously....do you think I could pick just one???





























Karine has been attending Cool2Craft  Live craft TV on Mondays and although she speaks little english, she is very much active in the chat room - which I think is WONDERFUL!!!!

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.

Next big question...where to buy Friendly Plasic...well...FRIENDLY PLASTIC MARKETPLACE!  will solve that problem

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.

 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.
