Now that we are in October, I am starting to make my Christmas gifts. It's been a few years now that I make my gifts. They are mostly soap and jewelry pieces. Nothing fancy. I use soap base (it is quicker and I can have help from a child. For jewelry pieces, I had tried various techniques and materials like macrame or japanese 4-in-1 techniques (with jumprings).
This year, it will be plastic. I have started a few projects with the plastic. The best end results will be given. It been a while that I haven't done plastic. In fact, it was since I took the class on that, at the craft store. I tried in my little oven that I use for fimo. It works well with the plastic too. I just have to experiment a little bit more. I think I am in the right track. I had good results from the first try. It gives me confidence for the rest. I just have to make minor corrections.
It is a nice thing. In the past, I had to work a little harder to obtain the same result. A bit more trial and error was needed. This time, I seems to have more the knack on things. Even if the class was taken a little bit more than a year ago. It is a good feeling. I will take some pictures of the result, just to chronicle what I am doing. I think it would be a good thing to build a portfolio of my creation. Can become handy in the future...
