Mixed Marriage

Our group gathered again yesterday and we welcomed Kathy I and Kathy II.  Both were enthusiastic participants and, as usual, we had a great time.  Cath showed us her new "tile" bracelet, and once the ooh's and awww's were expressed, it was "game on" to try out this new idea.  This mixed "marriage" of Zentangling, shrink film technique and chainmaille rings was surely love-at-first-sight!  This is my attempt, after the required ("*%#@*+!!!)  number of set-backs....and I have to say, I am quite pleased.

A Great Combination

The gals came over today and we had a lot of fun Zenning and baking up some pendants with shrink film.  We discussed all sorts of possibilities and put several different ideas into play.  We were very happy with our little efforts and, of course, we immediately wanted to do more!  Armed with this knowledge, I put this "set" together tonight and again have learned a few more "secrets" to the workings of shrink film.  The picture is backlit (to decrease shadowing) through the "clear" film, which gives a lovely bright look - however, when worn the light does not show through and they are somewhat darker.
