Plastic Rings!

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. As you can see, I drew octopus arms and coloured them purple and blue, then an orange and red koi fishie, lastly a 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.
