shrinky dinks

The facilitator of an Artist Trading Card workshop I recently attended, (re)introduced me to the wonderful world of Shrinky Dinks, the plastic material you cut, color, then bake, shrinking it to a fraction of its original size. I've since purchased my own kit and have experimented with grids, stained glass patterns, and other designs. I've yet to fully explore this new medium.

Here are some examples of some of my Shrinky Dink pieces, mounted on trading cards (which are 2.5" x 3.5", to give you an idea of the scale):

We had shrinky dinks when we were kids. I have not thought about those in years. Yours are very pretty.
