✨ From Raw Clay to Almost Ready ✨
Swipe to see the transformation 👀
The first photo is the pre-baked stage — freshly cut clay straight from my slab. No texture, no details, no baking yet. At this point they’re soft, flexible, and honestly looking a little plain. Just shapes with potential 💫
The second photo is after baking — fully cured, structured, and ready for the finishing touches. This is when they’ve been hardened in the oven and are strong enough to move on to sanding, detailing, sealing, and eventually hardware assembly.
It’s wild how much changes between these two steps. What starts as a simple piece of clay turns into something durable and wearable… and we’re not even at the final stage yet 😍
Creating each pair is such a process, but I love every step of it. Which stage surprises you more — the soft raw clay or the post-bake transformation? 💕
