shrink shrink shrink!

I’ve recently discovered something called Shrink Plastic.

I say I ‘discovered’….. I mean I was finally told of these fantasticly fun stuff.

It is just a piece of plastic sheet that you draw on….

Colour, and bake.

And it shrinks down and thickens up into little charms!

Unfortunately, this one stuck on the cardboard I used on the baking tray when I pressed it down with a book after shrinking.

So I filled in the colour again with my trusty set of sharpies.

Before

After

So I tried again.

This time, I changed some of the colours, keeping more clear spaces instead of filling the images too much. I also kept the colours lighter because the colours intensify after they shrink. Instead of using a cardboard base, I used baking parchment and decided not to flatten it with a book.

The second try is much nicer.

Since I left it as it was, you can see that it’s a little bit wavy.
