The ugly ones
It's like this - sometimes I make stuff I don't even like. 😬 ********** These, for instance. Sometimes I try a thing and the thing fails. Sculpey sent some tiny clay cutters to me as a bonus, and I thought, "They are too small for me to make post earrings with them, so maybe I use them to cut out a design in a bigger piece of clay". Do you see a bird, a dinosaur, something else? Yeah, that's the problem. It's supposed to be a bird. Then there are these beauties. I used a color that I wouldn't use for a flower, much less a rose. I uses flower mold like one of these: The good news was that I did a decent job using the mold to make the flower. I like blue, but not this blue. ::shudder:: Then there is this disaster: I mixed the clay colors, used a cutter for the shape, baked the clay, and then it broke when I was trying to add a brush-on sealant to it. Now that makes me mad and breaking finished earrings almost made me pack up all my clay and give up.
