I know most of what is grown here but I haven't a clue what this is and of course the Name Brains are never around when you need them..........so Shrinking Violets seems as good a title as any. If you know...Wire Tisdale in the Boonies. Thanks for the look and have a large Tuesday.
This card is for the Hero Arts October challenge (holiday card theme). I was playing around with shrink plastic the other day and got the idea of making baubles out of shrink plastic. To make these, I first cut the baubles out of the plastic and then stamped the images with Stazon ink. The three baubles were coloured in different ways. The snow on the round one and on the village one was coloured with a white pencil before shrinking. The sky on the round one was coated with two shades Stickles, after shrinking. The houses were coloured with alcohol ink before shrinking and after shrinking I added snow to the roofs with a gel pen. The tree bauble was coated with Glossy Accents and sprinkled with glitter after shrinking.
The snowman was dry embossed on watercolour paper and then the whole paper was covered in Rock Candy Distress crackle paint. It gave a snowy glittery effect that was hard to capture on the photo. The background was sponged with Distress Ink Stormy Sky and Tumbled Glass. The sentiments were stamped with alphabet stamps on the plastic before shrinking and translates ‘Merry Christmas’ and ‘Christmas peace’. I posted close ups of the baubles on my blog. TFL!!

Heat shrink tube is great!. I also hot glued the wires(connections) because the soldering points are so fragile!
You drive into this time warp and your big SUV turns into a Smart car.
I guess I was panning a little too fast.
STREET LIFE is the topic for Friday 9th October 2015
About two or so months ago I tried shrinking a Spring Into Style doll to better suit a jointed Barbie body but after all this time it seems like her face has maintained the same size while her crown and sides have shrunk. Lengthwise it’s ALMOST collector size but the paint didnt shrink very well which sucks cuz I loved her screening.
Anyway, the Curvy Fashionista sculpt is definitely not the Karl sculpt. It has a much wider nose and lips, defined jaw and much more defined cheekbones than Karl.
I think I might try to salvage this head by repainting her cuz the playline screening is getting awful.
Shrink wrap is also called as shrink film, it is made up of polymer plastic film, When heat is applied it shrinks tightly to the object it is covering. It is heated by a heat gun or sent through a shrink tunnel or oven for shrinking. One of the reasons why people opt for shrink wrap packaging is the simplicity of use. The easy availability of shrink wrap machines allows people to create a perfect package without going through a lot of hassle.
The same White Lily which i have photographed from the beginning of its opening in a bought bouquet.

Zoomed in view of Route 16 in Ashmore looking west, as dense fog formed in late hours of the night and early morning.
I was in the middle of the road and set up the shot so it looks like all the streetlights are close together, but the perspective from which I am standing makes them look spaced together when actually my distance away from them + the fog allows the illusion that they are shrinking.
i set about making a barrel looking shrink pot from some ash,and once made i thought it would make a fine drinking vessel so i set about making the handle and lid,which was a challenge! no glues or nails used in construction,just a hand filed tapered pin for the hinge,all i have to do now is seal around the base with brewers pitch to make it water tight.
