If you want to change the colour of the front of your stick of Friendly Plastic, or to add colour to Friendly Plastic Pellets, then Permanent inks are a great way to go.  Their colours are vibrant, you can use all manner of techniques to apply the inks, they dry almost instantly and they do not change the nature of the FP.

If you want to colour the reverse of FP sticks, recolour recycled pieces of FP, or to colour Friendly Plastic Pellets, then Pigment Powders are the things to use along with Transfer Foils and Metal Flake.
Polished Pigments Individual Colours                                                 £3.00
Incredibly dense and powerfully saturated pigment powders in little 10gm jars.  A very small amount goes a very long way.
Use a small sponge applicator to apply to hot FP.  It is a great way to  “repair” cracks and gaps in the foil surface of FP, it covers and colours the reverse side of the sticks with ease, and looks fabulous combined with Metal Flake or foils when recycling your FP scraps. They are simply brilliant at colouring FP pellets too (coming very soon to Rare Bird)

They normally come in packs of 4 pre selected colours, but we thought you would like to choose your own favourites.  As there are so many colours available please send us a message to say which colour you would like.  If  it is out of stock I will send you the closest one I have.  You will still be delighted with the powder whatever colour you choose, they are just fabulous.

Remember to take precautions to avoid inhaling the powder, use a mask and use a sponge applicator rather than a brush.
Adirondack Alcohol Inks

Make your own Friendly Plastic colours using these fabulous alcohol inks. Paint, dab, drop or smear the colours on to  the surface of your sticks of FP and create your own colourways.  Or use to colour Friendly Plastic Pellets.  Because these are permanent alcohol based inks they do not change the feel of the FP when you work it.  The colours look best on the paler sticks of FP (white, light blue, silver, gold

Inks and Powders

Lustrous  Mulit surface paints - Colourful Thoughts                                          £4.55
You wont catch us stocking just any paint, we only want paints that work really well with Friendly Plastic.  These Colourful Thoughts paints do just that.  They are thick and creamy and highly pigmented with a fabulous lustrous finish that is almost iridescent.  Not only do they work really well on Friendly Plastic, but they will work on almost every other surface too (fabric, wood, paper etc).

The even better news is that they combine brilliantly with the Mica Powders too.  Use to colour the backs of your pieces, paint Cloud Clay, stamp with the paints onto Friendly Plastic, texture FP and apply these paints to highlight or sink into the hollows.  Their vibrant colours make them perfect partners for FP.

We have a limited range at the moment, but if they prove popular, we may well expand.

Delicious Mica Powder paints - Colourful Thoughts                                          £4.00
Excellent value Mica Powders which shimmer and shine with the best of them.  Intense colour, fine powder - glides beautifully onto the back of a warm piece of Friendly Plastic.  Try adding the powders to warm Friendly Plastic Pellets for dazzling results.  These powders can also be added to the Multi Surface paints above, or rubbed on to any tacky surface.  A tiny touch of water turns them into glistening paints that add a fabulous top coat to acrylic paints.  A tiny bit goes a very long way.  I love them, I hope you do too.
