Friendly Plastic TV Video – Dimensional Pendants with decorative foils

Linda Peterson Designs — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 18:12:00 +0000

In the past we've worked alot on 2-dimensional designs which primarily focused on layering or putting a variety of mediums on top of the Friendly Plastic to alter the look of it in some way. In this video, we take that a step further.

I love the look of stretching and crackling the Friendly Plastic, but often this results in the colors of the foil dulling when the black background pulls up through. To solve this and to add a decorative, somewhat watercolor wash effect, I tried nail polishes. The results are beautiful and the polishes fix the foil so that the colors remain bright. Add a touch of decorative foil and you've created one of a kind - gorgeous pendants - in any color...and my I add that you can make these in 30 minutes or less?? Great HUH?

Kits and Friendly Plastic supplies can be purchased at the CrafTECH University Craft-E store.

I hope you enjoyed this episode of Friendly Plastic TV. I always welcome your comments and suggestions for show segments.

National Craft Month Tips on Jewelry Making!

Linda Peterson Designs — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:05:00 +0000

I've posted on Facebook a call out for your favorite jewelry making tips....or ...just a creative tip in general. I love all the response I've been receiving. (remember to leave your tip on the blog via a comment or on Facebook and I'll enter you into a drawing to be given away next Friday!)

Here are of some of my favorites:

Cindy C. "When making jewelry for yourself, have something in mind that your going to wear it with. That way you can match or with medias like friendly plastic, polymer clay, etc you can create colors that will coordinate with your outfit. It will give you a great custom look"

Carol C: "Taking apart something I bought at a charity shop and combining it with my stash to make something new especially using chain maille. There are some wonderful weaves to try."

Melody B: "I like making various wire pieces up and then come back to them to put them together at a later date. Things always look different from a fresh perspective!"

Amy K: "Beading gives you the flexibility to work to your hearts content, and improvise as you go without losing valuable stock if you mess up :)"

These are all GREAT tips ladies! Thanks so much for sharing! Leave your tip too and win a prize!
