Adventures in Shrink Film

I spent a good deal of the summer crouched over doodling on, coloring and cutting out shrink film like a mad 6-year old scientist, and hoovering over the toaster oven hoping I got everything just right. A lot of things were made for friends, cuz that's the kind of crafter I am, but hey, I kept a few things for myself...
For those reading this going, "Shrink film, wha?" shrink film, sometimes called Shrinky-dink is a clear plastic sheet that one can draw on, cut out and bake--the baking process shrinks and thickens the object. Punch a hole into the film before baking and you have a cool pendant or dangly pretty thing suitable for jewelry. (I've also been told it makes neat christmas ornaments, for anyone out there looking for holiday decoration crafts, and it's all kinds of addictive...)
So this is some of my jewelry, partly Shrinky-dink brand, partly just plain shrink film, using Sharpie, Bic permanent pens, coloring pencils, embroidery templates and Klutz templates (for copying), and most are coated in clear and or clear glitter nail polish (which can sometimes make the markers runny, but without it can make the image rub off--story about that later...)

Star earrings (klutz templates)

Swallows--an embroidery design

Bats

(Klutz) Bird silhouette

(Klutz)Owl and Snail...possibly for my nephew

And then...

(Klutz) dangly earrings

Flower and bird also from Klutz

So klutz has really cool woodgrains...

...and plaid ideas

As well as hearts, paisley and stuff (used glitter nail polish as sealant)

A nautical/day of the dead charm necklace for my friend, reminds me more of retro tattoos
