These ShrinkyDinks rings by dillonDesigns are just gorgeous. Each ring is stamped with waterproof ink and the edges are painted gold.
Part of me thinks they just shouldn’t work, that they’re too crafty and stampy and shrinky dink to be cool, but truth is… they are cool. So cool I want to rush out and buy ShrinkyDinks right now.
(I won’t though. The last thing our house needs is more craft stuff in it, even if five sheets of plastic would take up way less room than fabric for a skirt, which is the other thing I’m toying with purchasing. And before you say, “A new skirt? But that sounds practical – you should definitely buy fabric!” I must warn you that I’ve acquired enough fabric in the last week for two skirts, a dress and a top, along with half a meter of fabric I just couldn’t resist that will, maybe, be turned into a bag. That doesn’t include the fabric I bought the week before to make a dress to wear to a wedding at the end of February, or the dress and coat I already have cut out and waiting to be sewn. No more fabric for me. Time to stop collecting and start making. Seriously.)
Oooh, yeah, I saw those rings on the Craftzine blog the morning and thought the same thing!
Go on, buy some skirt fabric, you know you wanna! hahaha
Hi
Just found your blog via Drwezel – love the rings – I am not normally someone who wears rings but I would make an exception for them!
[...] 2 hours at the most – and it came with the added bonus of making me feel virtuous, because it used the half meter of fabric I bought the other month. [...]
