Custom Ring

Another comission completed.  Yeaaaa!  I have a show again in about two weeks and I really want to play and make some new stuff and now I can!  I have completed all but one of my current comissions and I reinforced to my client that it would take me a couple of weeks to even begin to work on her order so I have a little time to breathe before I have to get to work on it.  Thank goodness ... I need to let my muse take over for a while. :)

This carved rose is made of angelskin coral and it was previously set in a ring by another wire wrapper.  The ring was damaged - how I am not sure - but it was beyond repair when it came into my hands.  Though rings are a weak point for me, I took the comission especially for the challenge because I want to become better at ring work.  I think I am fairly pleased considering what I had to work with.  The coral was chipped and broken in some places, but I managed to cover those unsightly spots up with the wire to help disguise them.  Given the style of the ring before, I think that Ms. Joan will be pleased with the outcome as well.

Okay ... I'm off to play!  Weeeeeeee
