Ring Design

I got the idea, a while ago, to design and make a ring for myself. Partly inspired by a distant cousin (third cousin I think) and his website. It had to be something with a personal feel to me, and I had to make it myself.

I let the idea slop around for a few months, then I looked up a jewellery-making class, and found that it was only a week away! I got my arse in gear and got some modelling clay and played with prototypes, then went to the actual class to see just what was possible for an amateur.It turns out - quite a lot is possible with the right help and guidance! I would have liked something neater-looking, but for a first try, I was pretty satisfied. I'm not out of ideas yet by the way. Watch this site for the development of version 2 of a movie-based ring (fingers crossed). Oh yeah - by the way it's meant to look like a film reel, not a hose-clamp.
