All Hail Moldable Film and Fibre

 Angelina Fusible film and fibre and Fantasy Molding Film and Fibre is something that I have had in my arty crafty arsenal for a long long time and I bought it a couple of years ago initially and had great fun with it for a while and then when I had used it all up, I kept meaning to buy more and when life got in the way as it does, I kept forgetting until I forgot all about it completely LOL!!

Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Cling Stamp


Then a stange thing happened.

I was clicking my way around youtube as I often do (I have the attention span of a fruitfly when I'm bored) and I clicked on a video that I had seen before and it was about one of the ways you can use Angelina/Fantasy Film or Fibre.  She made really cool pendants using embossing powder, UTEE, glass and fantasy film.


You can stamp it, sew it, even wash it.  It only bonds to itself and fibre and you can keep the excess and bond it to more of itself and there is no waste at all.

a. b. and c. are all done with the same film and embossing powder and PaperArtsy Hot Picks Mini Stamp but they all look different because of the ink pad or stamp paint
(a) is with Brilliance Silver Pigment ink (b) is actually Viva Decor Stamp Paint (Post on this fun line to follow and (c) is with Brilliance Platinum ink pad

So these are a few of the ones that I have made using different colours and Stamps and Different inks I used.

 2x2 inch glass PaperArtsy Hot Pick stamps

I found my old stash of film and even fibre (after ripping my art room apart looking for it) and played, and played and played!!!!  It was so much fun and I really enjoyed the process and wanted to make many more eclectic pieces until well ... I used it all up :( .  So what I did then, is what I normally do.  I went online and bought some Angelina film and fibre from Claritystamps.co.uk and found out where I could get the same kind of Fantasy film and found it with the ArtGlitter.com and they had so many more colours and I bought 1 of every colour and it even comes in 20 inch wide in the Aurora for wearable art.  So cool!!!  It was super fast on the delivery as well from both web sites.












This is 1.5x1.5 glass and frame and I used I think a Hero Arts cling stamp and clear embossing ink pad. I love the subtle effect the clear ink gives this piece



Supplies
1. Fantasy Film
2. Clear UTEE
3. Embossing Powder (dark colours are best)
4. Ranger Memory Glass (2x2 1x3 1.5x1.5)
5. Memory Frames (not essential)
6. Versamark or any clear embossing ink pad
7. Stamp that is bold and not too detailed

Now to make;

1. press glass slide into ink pad and make sure it is completely coated and pour dark embossing powder and return excess to jar and melt with heat tool repeat this at least 3 times.

2. cut a piece of film approx 2x the size of the glass and scrunch it up as much is possible and leave to one side

3. once the powder is dry on the glass and cool to the touch press the embossed side of the glass into the inkpad and un-scrunch the film and press into the embossing powder

4. heat with the heat tool and it will shrivel the film but don't be afraid and let it cool down again

5. once the film is cool to the touch press the ink pad into the film and pour UTEE onto it and pour the excess into the jar and repeat step 1 two more times.

6. ink up the stamp with any sort of permanent archival ink that you want to use.  I used Brilliance Silver that takes a good while to dry because the Staz-on just wouldn't do what it was told to do and press very firmly into the UTEE whilst it is still hot.

7. once it has cooled down angle your scissors slightly and cut off the excess around the glass and slide into a memory frame.  

It's so fun and I gave them to a few of my aunts and they seemed to like them.

I'm putting the film on everything and anything and it looks fantastic!  Really does live up to its name.

That's all for today.  Let me know if you like what I made using just one truly fun technique.

I hope you are all well where you are and take care of yourselves.

((Hugs))

1x3 This has a little fibre under the film and gives more depth

They make great key chains & its portable art

I love that the stamps look a little celestial
