Check this out...

I finished my haunted house. It is a kit that we sell at the store but I think we sold out. I put the landscape on an art board that I painted and fussed with for a few hours. Add some moss and and some stone and Wah-Lah.


This is an image I traced on 'Shrinky Dink" that was eight by four and a half inches and after baking it shrunk down to about half the size. Add black chain and red stones and Wah-La!

I am so lucky to be able to work at Zinnia. It sure is nice to work on art projects while chatting with the customers. We have been using Facebook to feature a new a project every Saturday. What we try to do is follow the process through the day. A few weeks ago I was playing with Shrink Plastic and was making a flower pendent. We never posted pictures of the completed project because we had, I mean an 'oh oh' moment. I had shrunk the piece and decided to gloss it up with Diamond Glaze... I had it on one off the counters in front of a small fan trying to get it to dry. I had a box in my hand as I walked by the project when a customer knocked his wheelchair into the Halloween display and some of merchandise tumbled to the floor. I went over to make he was okay and gather the merchandise. What I spaced-out on was that I dropped the box I was carrying… on top the flower pendent thing that had Diamond Glaze. Daaang! It was stuck to the bottom of the box and got messed up. Waaaah!




Okay friends, until next time... live in color!

  1. Hi Suki,
    Love the Shrinky-Dink creations. Do you have a how-to posted somewhere? Specifically: what can you use to color on the Shrinky- Dinks..I'm thinking many things would just melt off?
    Just discovered your web and blog yesterday, and I'm having so much fun exploring your "world".
    Thanks.
