Busy hands | Disquiet mind

Way back in Part One I had a go at making a custom enclosure, to house the Gemma Jewel Circuit, from polymer (bake-in-the-oven) clay and a purchased bead forming tray. It worked okay, but there was room for improvement.

Firstly I wanted a deeper, more domed, front to the necklace than the purchased tray provided. Something more like a hemisphere. Actually, maybe exactly a hemisphere. But I couldn't find any forming tools to do this. I wandered into the craft shop and found a bouncy ball with about the right diameter to encase the Gemma Jewel. Then I picked up some air-dry clay, and made my way home.

I am very new to all this, this is just an experimental log, not a how-to.

I have plans in motion for the rest, but for now; to be continued.

After making my Gemma-Jewel circuit I needed something to put it in. I couldn't find a tutorial that fit my minimalistic needs (and skills) so I'm trying to figure something out for myself (inspired by those existing tutorials) and learning as I go.

I have something much more complicated in mind, we'll see how it turns out. (Btw, the code used is once again the FastLED library, OceanColors palette. It's simply mesmerising.)
