Shrinky Dink Jewelry
These are the shrinky dink charms Luke and I made this weekend. Okay, so he lost interest after about ten minutes. But I enjoyed it. The elephant charm will be given away with a copy of Jennifer Niesslein's book. See the above post for details. I'll even throw in a piece of black cord with which to tie it around your neck.
I love those! Did you print them out? You're ready for etsy, now.

Hi Mary! Thanks. Yes, those are print-outs. You know, I'm half-considering doing some up for etsy. They're fun to make.

Love those shrinky dinks - remind me of a brooch I made for a show my brother did - a Victorian illo of twins in the womb lifted from an old book called Woman Beautiful. I didn't have the shrinky dink technology but I think I laminated with clear nail varnish.
The elephant is particularly fetching.

Would love to see the brooch, Sara. What kind of show was it?

It was a one man show called "Buck Naked" about twin brothers - wrote it with my brother and he played both parts. One brother was a retarded supermarket shelf-stocker and the other was a university student who'd just gotten his girlfriend pregnant. My favourite line in the whole show was "Casey and Finnegan were puppets? No!"
The image was what we used for the poster and then I made pins because they were so bizarre (a bit like that heart necklace you pictured today). I may still have one around somewhere - will take a look.

I love your choice of pictures. I was thinking of making some for myself. Did you print out the images directly onto the paper?
