Friendly Plastic Fusion Illusion Live Class photo’s

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

I believe CrafTECH University is the first of it's kind. It offers LIVE - Interactive - In real time video driven classes. We literally had students from all over the world, from the East and West Coast of the US to Liverpool England. We were all able to get together is a relaxing aptmosphere, learn and enjoy one another's creativity.

The unique features of this room are that the video pane floats and can be enlarged according to your personal preferences. We can also view up to 6 webcams at any given time. Detailed close up video allows you to see exactly what the instructor is doing.

And because we have the control to turn on and off webcams- anyone can share - just as if they were sitting right next to you.

This happens to be a photo of one of our students in Liverpool England showing us how she is using the hotwater method to melt her plastic.

At the end of class they were given the assignment to finish their pendants and send me photos. Look how great they did! Most of these students had NEVER worked with Friendly Plastic before.

This is Molly F.'s photo

From Lisa R.

From Dee P.

And from Pat G.

Quick learners for sure!!! They have definately become Friendly Plastic Addicts!

If you wanted to take this class but missed it - Don't worry - YOU CAN! That's another great feature of this format is that the class is recorded and you can purchase the recorded version.

Only $12.00 and a link will be provided and send to you via email for you to view as often as you would like. Start and Stop...watch - rewatch....

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.
