See you Thursday with new jewelry to show!

With the inspiration of crafts and fun... I started experimenting with PolyShrink (or as some would call it, shrinky-dink). For those of you that are not familiar with this magical shrinking acetate, let me divulge...

PolyShrink comes in different color sheets, you can use white, black or clear. You can stamp it, draw on it, paint it, color it, or cut it. Most people I have talked to about PolyShrink, say "Oh yes, I did that once when I was young." Unfortunately, I did not even hear about the stuff until a year ago, so I thought there is no better time to try it than now!

The special quality in PolyShrink that I find soOOoo magical is... after you draw something on it, you heat it and "POOF!" the piece starts shrinking to about half its size. It is so fun to watch, I just giggle as I am doing it. heeheehee

With the fun I have been having, I decided I should make earrings so I could share my fun with everyone. You can see images below or for yourself on Thursday, August 27th, at 20th & Alberta about 3-10pm!

Geometric Styles, PolyShrink, marker & sterling silver, $5-10
