June Challenge on Beccy's site & TC2024 - (21) Iunie - Cherries on plastic - an experiment

This project is my entry for the next challenges:

'June Challenge' on Beccy's place;

Transformari creative 2024 - Iunie, pe blogul lui Niko, materia prima fiind : plastic.
Tema 3 este despre cirese (cherries and using plastic).

Beccy inspired us with a beautiful image with cherries.  I sincere hope
that she will forgive me because this time, more important for me was the
experiment of using a shrink plastic foil... So, The cherries can not be eaten...

So I'll explain what I did. The ideea was to draw on a special plastic, to color the image
and put it in the oven preheted at ~120 degrees. After 2-3 min. the pieces become
smaller with ~50% in all the directions and thicker.
The image was drawn on a square piece of  8cm the side, because I wanted to put it
in a small notebook that had a cutout on the top cover. (4 cm. side).
I make also a clover with a hobby puncher. You can see the differences after 'baking'.
I used it as a bookmark.
The piece with cherries was smaller than the cutout, so I had to bond it on a small
cardboard fitted on the cover.
I colored the images with markers (Posca type)

Pentru acest proiect am experimentat utilizarea foliei de plastic
ce se termoformeaza. Dupa colorarea imaginii, bucata de plastic
se pune in cuptorul preincalzit si se lasa vreo 2-3min. Isi va
micsora dimensiunile cam cu 50%. Trifoiul a devenit parte
din semnul carnetelului in care am pus imaginea cu cirese.

This is the start of using a material new for me. I still have many questions
about the process, but it's so interesting, that I want to explore it.
