Join me while we explore the many possibilities of altering shrink plastic. We will distress, stamp, dome, paint, color, drill and layer the shrink plastic thus turning it into a charm that has having an industrial, whimsical sophistication. The heart charms we form and assemble will be added to a charm bracelet along with simple metal charms and wire wrapped bead dangles. 10-12 shrink plastic heart charms and 10-12 wire wrapped beaded dangles will be created. All will be assembled together to make a piece that is light-weight yet chunky in style. If you have never wire wrapped before you will learn to do so in this class. Good design will be stressed. This means using color, size, pattern and texture in a pleasing way.
