Mini Books in Friendly Plastic

What is the fascination many of us have about miniature things?  I love all the tiny versions of larger items; as a child I spent many happy hours making things for my doll’s house, many more than I did actually playing with it, I just like to make the things to go in it.  My [...]

Friendly Plastic Beads and Farewells

Sadly the fun has come to an end.  I took Linda and Mariah back to the station today so they could return to London.  I was sorry to see them go, we had had such a good time, tried out a number of different things in Friendly Plastic and Polymer Clay (Linda gave me a quick [...]

Flowers

I thought I might brighten up my demo table at the Craft Barn Extravaganza with  some rather whacky flowers.  they are all made entirely out of scraps of Friendly Plastic. In order to take this rather sub standard photo I had to hold my bunch of flowers in front of the tumble dryer as it was the [...]

A Small Consolation

By way of trying to make up to you the lack of C&C show yesterday, I want to share with you a little something you can do with your transfer foils other than colour the reverse of your Friendly Plastic.  But before I do, there have been a few comments and emails wondering what actually [...]

Getting Ready

I had a great weekend down at The Craft Barn in Lingfield, Surrey demonstrating FP to a very friendly and receptive crowd at CB’s Craft Extravaganza. Hopefully I will be able to show you some photos later on when I can nab them from those who had time to go and take the pictures. All [...]

Tubeads

Well I didn’t fib; in my post of the 26th November I showed some of the effects I had achieved using Linda Peterson’s Glisten and Shine technique, and a quick (and fuzzy) example of a tubular bead that I had made. I mentioned that I hoped to be able to show you more of these [...]

FPUK TV

I am sure that my mind works on the “cup full” principle – you can fill it up to the brim, but if you pour any more in, then the cup overflows and you lose some of the contents.  Over the last couple of weeks I have been trying to get back into the swing [...]
