Well ...I thought I was more disciplined, but seem to be not true:o) every day posting it's probably not for me. A few month ago I've begun
to play with threaded closure objects. At the beginning there were lockets. A
few notes for myself - do not mix different shrinkage clays!!! a lot of fixing
after that! but I manage and they all looked and worked well (actually not, one
of them still in "fix it area")

You see... I'm a multitasker
by nature, can't do just one thing at time. If I'm working with jewelry, Photoshop
or driving in the traffic -I listen to audio book, if I'm painting- the music. And
looks like that I like multitasking in my jewelry too. I need: it will look
nice, adorns me and has additional function, like keeping dear to my hart
things, protecting from environmental influence (metaphysics and physics altogether :o)

Or, as I decided with the threaded closure
possibility, have exchangeable possibilities.
From there came the next idea of exchangeable rings and earrings. And here did
come next note: do not mix different firing temperature clays in threaded
closure objects. Because if you have to do any fixing (or have
sintering issues with higher temperature firing clay) you will need to fire all parts
again. Any firing will give some small shrinkage and the screw-in and
screw-on parts won't fit.

Ring: copper, bronze, steel, resin
You live and learn,
so after ring project I was smarter and earrings went nice and smooth:o)
