Technique: Flower pendant
Win: Mostly
Challenge:
• To use up the last little bits of my colours before restocking
• To use a flower mould to achieve clear petal texture
• To create a single flower with leaves that feels balanced and well-composed on the pendant
Lessons Learned:
• Working with a mould is very tricky and delicate. This is the result of a few hours of trying to get a decent flower shape
• I also discovered that the petals I had propped up fell flat during baking, losing the height of the flower
• Small leftover pieces can still create something cohesive when the colours are thoughtfully combined
• Moulds give beautiful texture, but placement and finishing determine how natural the result feels
• Balance is more than placement — it’s also about colour weight and flow across the piece
Confidence Level: 7/10
Notes:
• A satisfying “use-what-you-have” piece — like a final bouquet gathered from the last stems in the studio
• I can see how this could be refined further with more intentional colour planning and composition
