Warming Up again

Hello Everyone! I hope you guys are all all right.

I have just been working- A LOT recently that I forget to do my regular posts.

I love the part that I am always a part of the team that helps a person back home- to their loved ones and get them a little push back to their old lives. Its very satisfying to discharge them- and that keeps me going.

Enough of my life and work, I just want to show you guys what I have made so far. Until recently, I was not aware of planner charms. In fact, I am still trying to grasp the concept of "planner charms" and what do they do. But, I find them really interesting so, I made my own.

Having gone a long while without making anything tend to erode my skills- everytime I stop claying for awhile, I always try to warm up first before attempting anything. My creative process is quite different from most people because, I work in an area where everything is very technical. Everything should be worked out precisely- and that can be challenging when I work in creative areas- where the only limit is my imagination. I always find the mental shift challenging.

Here in the picture, I have already used my cutter and attached the eye pins on top.There is no special technique involved here since all you gotta do- basically is just flatten a piece of clay and use the cutter to get the shape you wanted.

I am attempting to plan whatever complimentary charms I wanted to attach to my main ones. But it turned out that I am one of those people who does not want a lot- right now.

Here is the technique I use to get the cutter to get released: adding a soapy water( I use my dishwashing liquid- it does not matter which brand- I did not even measure it- just 5 drops).Dunk your cutter, dry it out( that's what that red thing on the left is for). Then use it to cut your clay.

I baked the lot and used nail polish- my last paint brush was severely damaged by the clay gloss, I gave up cleaning it. So, I used a clear nail polish to seal these pieces in.

Here's how they look on my planner.
