Day 80

 erm...I might have to open a button shop.

These buttons are made using hand drawn illustrations of Chinese lanterns.

Day 79

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 16

 

I just cant resist that shrinking plastic! Here is another ring made using a hand drawn pattern on plastic with a matte silver shank and setting.

Day 14

I'm loving this shrinking plastic! I bought a pack of it about a year ago and have only just got round to experimenting with it thanks to my make a piece a day challenge.

For today's piece I've drawn an ornate vintage pattern onto an irregular shape and set it as a 'gem' in a silver ring which has been oxidised.
