I LOVE shrinky dinks! Back in the day, my wife made a lot of really cool jewelry with it. We also did ornaments for our xmas trees a while back that are still some of my favorites to put up:) This is the first year, though, that I have attempted to use the material with kids at school on a grade level scale. Seven 5th grade classes with 30 students each... let's do this! I discovered the work of Vermont based artist Erin Inglis online. She makes way cool jewelry with shrinky dink material. I love her use of shape, pattern, and color. Her work fits well with the 5th grade investigation of unity on conceptual and visual levels. I've been sharing numerous pieces by Erin with my classes, pointing out her repetition of shape, line, and color to create a sense of unity. If she uses just one shape in a piece, she will break up it's interior with smaller shapes. We are also looking at how she sometimes assembles a few seperate pieces to create a larger whole, like a necklace and that these pieces don't have to be exactly the same. This variety of form and/or concept makes her pieces more interesting to wear or see. For this project I asked the students to create a piece or several pieces that are based on the use of one or two shapes a few times. Each students has a 4x5" piece of plastic to work with. I emphasize that if they want a statement piece, something big, that they need to draw it as big as possible because the material will shrink in my toaster oven to 1/3 of it's original size. I think this has been the hardest part for the students to grasp. As they watch their pieces shrink in the oven, they are continually amazed at how small their pieces become. I have students sketch out ideas and then trace the ones they want to use on the plastic. They can then outline in sharpie and color with crayola color sticks. The pieces are cut out, baked, and then strung, hung on ear rings, or rolled as rings. The kids are loving this project. I'm going to have a hard time getting kids to part with their wearables for our art show at the end of the year! If you are looking at a cool science connection to this project, you could talk about why the shrinky dinks shrink like they do. You can also tie in math and fractions since the material shrinks to 1/3 of it's original size. Students can estimate the final size of their designs in a quick sketch and then compare that sketch with the final "dink". even this old guy got into the act;)

These will convince you to go for the chop.
Continuing from yesterday - handmade gifts. I made buttons for two friends and a sketchbook for the other. I made three different kinds of buttons. The clear ones were hand drawn on shrink plastic, a great idea I first saw on this blog . I bought the wrong plastic and the wrong size punch so they are quite small buttons. Also some were not exactly round - but it adds to their uniqueness, or so I tell myself. These are made up of French Knots sewn on a non fray fabric [fliselina/vilene] then glued to 'Dress it up' 'make-a-button' button shanks. These I made with the 'prym easy cover button shells', lace on silk. These are also on the easy cover shells, French knots and two kinds of fabrics inspired by Karen Ruane's lovely work For the button cards I started with labels from The Graphics Fairy which I altered, printed and distressed. They looked like this to start with. For the book I made, I used unused printed patterns {passap knitting patterns} and the insides of used envelopes - have you ever looked at these, there are lots of different kinds of patterns, great for collage and backgrounds. All the pages shown below, click on the images for a better look.

I can only remember making Shrinky Dinks ONCE as a child but for some reason, the need to play with these things has consumed me for a while. So, I finally went to Michael’s Art Store and found a package of Shrink Art. I used a 50% off coupon and walked out with my kit
I wove this band on an inkle loom in a traditional Latvian pattern using 100% mercerized cotton. The weaving technique is Baltic Pickup. This belt will fit up to about a 32" waist and is about 1-1/8 - 1-1/4 inches wide. The buckle and other hardware are brushed nickel. The belt is reversible. You could shorten the belt by cutting the end clasped in the buckle. If you do cut it, be sure to put some glue on the cut end to keep the ends together. The band has been wet finished to reduce shrinking and limit any color bleeding.
