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 the overall look feels more polished than previous attempts. It’s encouraging to notice that kind of progress, especially in an area that used to frustrate me.
The sparkly black cat earrings brought a different kind of challenge, particularly with adding the eyes. Fine detail is still something I have to work at slowly and carefully, but I can feel that it’s getting easier with practice. What once felt almost impossible is now just… difficult, and that’s real progress.
Overall, this day felt confident and steady. Not perfect, but clearly improving—and that’s reflected in how I feel about the work.
