My heart just went (crack) right down the middle.
I made a beautiful watch that was both delicate and hardcore, but it would not hold itself together. Kept cracking all over the place and needed restitching and glue and it just got frustrating. The concept was wonderful but now I'm needed to replan the entire thing. Unless i find someone who likes to own wristwatches for the sole purpose of setting it on their desk to look pretty.
Sadly, polymer clay is too brittle for certain designs. It snaps.

But, this is exciting. Because little by little i am coming to realize what i am capable of making, and I'm glad my capabilities look pretty to my eye. TYJ.

so far so good...
