Shrink Art Dog Tags

Today I want to touch on a subject that I haven’t written about since I switched over to wordpress. Those of you who have been following my blog lately may not have a clue that I am a very crafty kinda guy. I love doing things creative with my hands. I knit, crochet, and I also make jewelry. Right now I have three knitting projects going on, which I may post about later. For now however I wanted to show off these rather not so neat shrink plastic dog tags I made last night. I made these with the clear type of shrink plastic and sharpie permanent markers. Shrink art is one of my favorite pastime activities although I really haven’t explored it’s possibilities extensively but I plan to play around with this a little more because I love how these little dog tags came out. I think however that I’m going to try the normal plastic with colored pencils because I think the pencil art on these would look much better since the pencils won’t run like the markers did on this clear plastic. These were just practice pieces so the ink runs are no big deal.
