Technique: Clean and simple dangle earrings using scraps
Win: Yes
Challenge:
- Using detailed cutters while keeping edges very clean and crisp
- Maintaining symmetry with small, delicate shapes
- Finishing neatly with jump rings
Lessons Learned:
- My edges were much cleaner today, which shows my control is improving
- Small detailed cutters really highlight even tiny imperfections
- Jump rings affect the overall finish more than expected. Even slightly uneven ones make the piece look less polished
- Assembly is becoming just as important as the clay work itself
Confidence Level: 8/10
Notes:
- I used a friend’s scraps from a class yesterday, which made colour matching effortless
- Working with a pre-coordinated palette removed decision fatigue and let me focus on precision
- Scrap-based designs naturally create interesting, balanced colour combinations
