So, while Linda Peterson was here she taught me this fun technique. She was taking white friendly plastic, using rub-ons on top and then using alcohol inks to add color to the piece. I loved the look (and by-the-way, got a wonderful prototype piece from her...), but tried it with a metalic silver piece of Friendly Plastic instead of the white. Here are some samples of the pendants I've made using this technique.
The metalic underneath the alcohol inks gives it almost a satin-like finish under the rub-ons. In fact, some of the pieces have a very Asian-silk-print-material-look to them. The photo's don't really do them justice.
I'm really liking the way these are turning out and looking for more innovative ways to use this fun medium.
