twelve: my love affair with shrink plastic continues

i still can't get enough of shrink plastic! every thing i scribble on plastic sheets look so good once they have shrunk, which is great since i am not a very good artist. i like using colored pencil rather than permanent markers, the colors in the pencils become much more vibrant once they are shrunk. the other day, i tried to print something on one of the plastic sheets, but they were not compatible together because the sheet melted a little in the printer. oops. luckily, i didn't break it.
the earrings above are studs that i made. i used a spray polyurathane over them so that the color pencil would not fade or rub off.

eight: bits n' pieces

i found these necklaces that i made while i was in austin. i strung several strands of beads and then braided them together. the darker necklaces has a very loose look to it, while the colored one is much tighter. i haven't done beading in awhile, but these pieces inspire me to do some more. right now, i am in the middle of making another patchwork pillow and am rediscovering the wonders of shrink plastic.
