Day 82

Today's offering is a long necklace made from fabric tape. I wanted to embroider into it as well but....tooo tired.....need sleep. That's a project for another day.

Day 78

So buttons are my new thing! Here are some more for day 78's piece, diamond shaped with a different Crane picture on each one.

Day 77

 

....more buttons...

Made by hand drawing the pattern onto plastic.

Day 68

Today's piece is a bracelet with a hand drawn leaf pattern on tracing paper and sewn with red cotton thread.

Day 64

I had a little relapse with the shrinking plastic today, I haven't been able to make any plastic pieces recently as my oven broke leaving me unable to shrink! (notice I'm less bothered about being able to cook in it.)
I had this 'already shrunk' piece hidden away, and cut it to shape to make this ring.

Day 46

So today I thought I'd try a similar piece to yesterday, but, hmmm... not too sure about this one! It doesn't have the 'Hey Presto' magic of yesterday for me, more 'Piff Paff Poof! It looks like a police chalk line around a body wearing dodgy pajamas!

Ah well, can't win 'em all

Oh, its a brooch pin by the way.

Day 26

I made necklace for day 26.  Freshwater pearls and a hand drawn florish on plastic held in a silver setting.

Day 25

I'm continuing the theme with today's earrings.
In treating the plastic as though its a found fragment of something much older and more valuable and setting it as a 'gem', I think I'm getting over the hurdle of viewing plastic as a worthless throw away material, which is what I've been battling with whilst making these pieces. I love what I can do with the plastic, but hate what it stands for.  I've always used  more natural and what I view as honest materials in the past like silver and textiles, but I think this plastic might be winning me over!

Day 21

Brooch pin of two parts....
