Many, many years ago I bought a couple of sticks of Friendly Plastic and I did something stupid with them. I used to have a compartmentalised box full of embellishments and the sticks of FP had been stored inside this box and I left it in the conservatory. When I came to use them......... well, I'm sure I don't need to spell it out! Needless to say I never used FP again and all my embellies were completely ruined!!! However, Liz Welch's many appearances on C&C recently has whetted my appetite once more and I ventured out and bought some more sticks of FP and I just cannot stop playing with it! It's incredibly addictive stuff. I'm sure there's a million things that can be done with this stuff and I can't wait to explore the possibilities, but these are my first pieces that I want to share.
This is my card for this week's Keep it Simple challenge. I think I took the 'Simple' aspect a little too literally because having already created my charm, the card took me about 3 minutes to assemble - but I love all that white space!!!
My earlier pieces weren't exactly a raging success so I kept all the pieces and chopped them up into tiny fragments and I made this bangle using Liz's lacework technique:
Then I made this necklace
and this is my favourite piece
I do have one or two other pieces that I wanted to share but to be honest, with this new blogger format, I lose the will to live! For some reason it's only allowing me to upload one pic at a time and I have to close down in between each one in order to add another photo! Ridiculous!
Anyway, I hope you like the pieces. Have a great week and roll on Friday - it's half term!! YAY!!!
Thanks for stopping by! :o) xx

The card is fabulous as are the design jewelry you've made with the friendly plastic. I've never seen any although I have heard of it. Very beautiful art work. And where on earth do you live to get mid October snow???
ReplyDeleteI love your FP work - I too used to use FP a lot, & have had my interest reawakened by Liz Welch.
ReplyDeleteI was going to comment on your picture upload problem but see that someone else has. I uploaded 3 yesterday to my blog in one sitting & that was by browsing my pictures folders, rather than having them in Picasa first. After it loads the first pic - just click browse again as many times as you require - then when they are all framed in blue click "Add".
Not sure what's happened with blogger but mine's not changed one bit, the way I upload stuff is the same way I've always done it ... and hopefully it'll stay that way lol
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE what you've made though and I can see why the second pendant is your favourite piece! Just stunning all of them though.
Is FP anything like shrink plastic? I remember you making a pencil case charm (from a Magnolia stamp I think) quite a while back and thinking how totally inspirational that was!
Love whatyou have done with the FP
