Introduction from the Author

From its roots as a children's craft medium, shrink plastic has developed into a material that can be used in many sophisticated ways by the stamp artist. This book takes a broad look at many of the ways to use shrink plastic. Of the numerous brands of shrink plastic on the market, I prefer Polyshrink™ Artist's Grade Shrink Plastic by Lucky Squirrel.

There are simple ways of using plastic and projects that combine several techniques for more complex effects. I have also recommended some of the stamp images that I have used successfully with shrink plastic. Please experiment with the stamp images that you have ....many will work well. Also member that shrink plastic is like many other media, inexact. Be willing to play around with various sizes and shapes.

You will find many artists' work, including mine, on the Lucky Squirrel web site.

AuthorFrom the Editor

I just can't believe all the wonderful artistic effects crafters can achieve with sheets of shrink plastic and rubber stamped images!

Learn to create beautiful jewelry, cards, boxes and journals using a wide variety of techniques ... stained glass, intaglio, beach glass, glazed tile and more.

And discover how to shape plastic pieces, apply gold foil, create faux stone, finished and emboss.

Shrink Art 101 is your guide to a whole new world of crafting possibilities!
