I'm going to show a quick example again. This time I will show the final product. This was created the same way as the last one with chalk and a rubber stamp. The hole for the jump ring was cut with an oversized hole punch. Make it plenty big. The hole shrinks too. And, also it is a good idea to round the corners so they are not sharp.

Here it is after the shrink process. You can see how much it has shrunk. It is also much thicker. Notice how much stronger the color and design looks.

This is the final funky pendant. The tiki image is glued to the base with super glue gel.

Here is one that is a kinda stylized PNG look. You can see that the plastic has a bit of a rough surface. I think that makes it look less like plastic. I use a matte clear spray as a final finish.

As you can see, even though the tiki print is basically a square photo print, the background can be any size or shape you want. Hope you folks found this to be somewhat interesting. I'll get back to the Ipad now.
