Fantasy Film

No, not what you think - and yes I know it's an easy assumption coming from me...

I thought I'd show you another hobby - this is basically where you make wire frames and dip them in liquid which then solidifies so you can make petals etc and then stick them together in the usual floristry sort of way...

Very pretty I like that

Fantasy film conjured up something entirely different

We have some of that stuff it's cool to play with

I like the sound of that. How does one get started?!

You can buy it from most craft shops. It's basically a very thin acrylic resin/plastic. You make the frame work from wire. You dip your shaped wire in and allow it to dry it's fun to do.

It's called fantasy film, be careful what you click on if you search for it on google

I have no idea what your talking about fantasy films cos I'm dead pure I am, but the dipped flowers are great. And they're really quite versatile too aren't they? Any shape you care to make and the resin fills the gap. (it's great to stick yer fingers through after it's set too but that's naughty)

Lol oh Gillian you are naughty!
If you do get a kit make sure you get some hardener as well, and I've used pearlescent paints there to make it more lifelike - I've got pansies and snowdrops here too.

What shall I photograph for you next then, my stumpwork or cross-stitch?

Stumpwork Stumpwork.... especially I don't have a clue what it is!!

Ohhh I need to find a craft shop that sales Fantasy Film.... my local one does main knitting and doll houses! lol! Hubby is going to have a fit! lol!

Actually.... could we also see the snowdrops and pansies? Pretty Please with a cherry on top?!

Ok - I'll see what I can do...

Meanwhile here's a link to where mine came from - save you from yourselves looking at things that might corrupt you
