Life must be lived as play. ~Plat0 I love rings! (maybe as much as I love earrings!) and have long admired artists who make them... rustic and organic, fun and playful, those with gorgeous bezel set stones, simple to elaborate detailed bands...all of them! With my new workbench set up, I've been playing at learning to make some of my own....cutting, filing, hammering, soldering, refining how to use my torch, more hammering, oxidizing, tumble polishing... I've 'disappeared' into my little workshop for hours at a time. Here are some of my first finished skinny sterling stacking rings. I love their patinas and organic shapes ... and am so excited to be making my own!
This is absolute perfection. You're making my heart go pitter patter, Karon!
