Day 50
Technique: Tool wrap
Win: Yes
Challenge:
• To use bits and pieces of my small left-over colours to make two more tool wraps
Lessons Learned:
• This is my third attempt at this technique, and it’s starting to feel much more natural
• I really enjoy the striped effect — it feels more dynamic and visually interesting than using a flat slab
• The stripes could have been twisted a bit more to add extra movement and flow
Confidence Level: 9/10
Notes:
• A satisfying way to use up leftover clay while still creating something practical and beautiful
• Each attempt feels like a small refinement — less guesswork, more intention
Love the effects. Do the tools also feel more comfortable in the hand now with the extra give of the polymer clay?
They do feel a little “spongy”, but also smooth. I love how it also warms slightly if you hold it for a while when you work a piece. Not only does it look cute, it is clearly my tool on the desk of all our stuff when we work, and I can practise techniques with my left over bits of clay.
Very good.
Youvare at the half way point
Very good.
