Plastimake

I am soooo excited about what arrived in the post today. Thanks Brian for the heads up on this product.  Plastimake is so easy to use.  The only risky part of this whole process is that my creativity could go ballistic!  Little plastic beads melt when you pour hot [boiling] water over them.  My white plastic turned clear and once it was cool enough to handle,  I fished it out of the bottom of the mug and away I went . . . moulding the plastic to whatever I wanted.  The 1st object that sprung to mind was a ukulele pick shaped as a cat's head - The final product once cooled was ok but not great so it went back into the hot water to be recycled.  The next products were a series of rings which I discovered keep their shape better if you mould them around your finger and then run cold water from the tap on your hand.

LHS = 1st attempt; RHS warm/hot blob of melted plastic ready for shaping

When the plastic is cooled, it returns to it's original white colour.  I haven't yet added the coloured pallets be so adventurous to venture out of the monochromatic scale!
Tomorrow is another day and another chance to think about my next creation.  I only put a dessert spoonful into the water and discovered it goes a long way particularly when you can remould and recycle the prototypes that don't quite meet the grade.

1 dessert spoon made all these

Very happy with my first day of creation
