I bought some Shrinky plastic a little while ago, and thought today I would make some rings. I found a very useful tutorial at http://www.planetjune.com/blog/ on making shrinky plastic rings.In the tutorial they used rubber stamps, since I didn't have any I used sharpies and made my own unique design.I made three rings, I drew octopus arms and coloured them purple and blue on one, and as you can see in the pic an orange and red koi fishie, lastly I drew cherry blossom tree. This rings aren't as easy as I thought they would be... I over measured and had to file them down and rebake and then wrap them into rings again. I hate to say it but I think it took me five or six tries till I got it just right. The cherry blossom tree ring is way to big for me but it'll fit a friend of mine ^_^ So I didn't bother filing that ring down but the other two are mine.

This is my first plushie I made him last Monday, it's for a swap I'm doing on cut out + keep ( http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects ). We are making tote bags and stuffing them with goodies ^^ So I've been trying to make lots of stuff I haven't really made before. I've enjoyed working with felt so much, that I started an etsy ( http://www.etsy.com/profile.php?user_id=6259539 ) and hope to sell some of my stuff later on.

Any who, my bee plushie is maybe 3 inches big. With a yellow body and brown strips, a little hot pink heart on his bum, black beads for eyes, and rainbow tutu stuff for the wings. I haven't thought of a name for the little guy, but as you can see he loves going outside hang flying around with other bum-ble-bees. ^_^ Well I'm off to the grocery store, thank you for stopping by and reading my first bloggie ever! I hope it wasn't to boring. ♥
