Day 44 felt like a quiet but meaningful step forward. Working on simple dangle earrings gave me space to focus on refinement rather than complexity, and that shift really showed in the results. The pearly white pair pushed me to prioritise clean finishes, and I can see definite improvement there. The surfaces are smoother, and … [Read more…]
This felt like a gentle experiment rather than a bold success—one of those pieces that whispers instead of sings. Working with white, I created a calm, almost airy foundation, and the hint of glitter gave just enough life to keep it from feeling flat. Paired with the light blue grout, the overall effect leaned soft … [Read more…]
Day 42 surprised me. I usually lean toward bold colour and contrast, but this all-white piece felt completely different — quieter, more deliberate, almost meditative. Without colour to rely on, everything else had to step forward: shape, texture, finish, balance. White doesn’t hide anything. It reveals. Every edge, every curve, every tiny imperfection becomes part … [Read more…]
Day 41 felt like a quiet kind of success — the kind that doesn’t shout, but settles in with confidence. Working with fine texture forced me to slow down and pay attention in a different way. Every tiny detail mattered, and in that careful handling, the pieces started to feel more intentional. The pendant and … [Read more…]
Day 40 felt like trying to coax something delicate into existence before I quite had the rhythm for it. The butterfly wings were always going to rely on two things: colour and precision.

It had all the ingredients of a statement design. But the final result … [Read more…]

Day 37 felt like a study in contrast, not just in colour, but in control. The idea itself was soft and intuitive: a gentle ombre stack of pink discs, shifting shade by shade, like a quiet gradient unfolding. That part worked beautifully. The slightly off-centre stringing gave it exactly the relaxed, boho character I was … [Read more…]
Day 36 feels like a confident step into boldness. There’s something unapologetic about the red, white, and black combination. It doesn’t whisper, it declares. And while it might not be everyone’s taste, it feels like mine. That alone makes this piece important. It’s less about fitting a mould and more about recognising a voice that’s … [Read more…]
Day 35 didn’t land the way I imagined. The idea felt clever at the start, like a puzzle that would click into place if I just followed the plan. But somewhere between concept and execution, the pieces refused to speak the same language. The split-shape design asked for precision, alignment, and a kind of quiet … [Read more…]
