New Friendly Plastic TV Video – Glisten and Shine

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
This is a brand new technique that I've never shown except at the Starving Artist Retreat in Colorado. Just a word of caution, do not use regular oil paints as it produces quite a awful smell when placed on the griddle. Genesis Paints are available thru AMACO - just email your questions by clicking here and they will hook you up.



Be sure to check out my etsy site too for more Friendly Plastic one of a kind jewelry! Makes great gifts too!

“What If” Days and Friendly Plastic

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
Do you ever have a "What if???" day? That's a day where, you play...no real goal to finish a project...no concern about all the mistakes you might make - mostly because there are no real mistakes...a What IF I do this? What if I add that? What if I heat it? What if I stamp it? What if I Rub-N-Buff it? WHat if...what if...what if okay...you get the idea..

Well..this is an example of a recent What If day that I had in the studio. It was just after Jen Lowe left me to go home. She reminded me of all the Genesis Oil paints that I had here...and I had not used in a LONG LONG TIME!

I wish you could see this razzle and dazzle in person! It glistens like sunshine on water.





Genesis Paints are oil based with a very exceptional property...they can be baked at the same temperature as polymer clay to dry. This also means that they can be used in conjuction with Friendly Plastic and a griddle....yum yum...the possibilities!!!

I'm still keeping the technique a secret! Sorry but a girls just gotta have some secrets, ya know! But maybe I will share this technique at the winter CHA 2010 show. Hmmm......

Now I have just one question for you.....
What will you make with Friendly Plastic on your "What if" day?
