I’m pleased to introduce our guest blogger for the week: Jana Ewy! She’s a top art and craft designer, who happens to be a leading expert for Friendly Plastic, a fun craft medium that creates some amazing results. You can see more of Jana’s work at her website: www.justbananas.com.

My love for the Plastic

I began working with Friendly Plastic in the late 1980′s. I was fascinated by the vibrant metallic colors and by the process of heating it in hot water into a soft pliable medium that could be manipulated into beautiful free form designs. Big and bold they were… and the embellishments, well enough was never enough.

Working with Friendly Plastic NOW, is more creative than ever before. With new techniques and new heating methods comes a unique new style. Gone but not forgotten is the hot water method. Although it still can be used for certain applications, using a heat tool and a griddle offer infinite opportunities to create exciting works of art.

Every day I discover something new or find a way to update one of the techniques from the past. Here are a few photos from my technique Collections.

I propose not to hold back until you earn enough cash to buy different goods! You should just get the loans or collateral loan and feel free
