And more rings…

Well, one more anyhow…this half formed ring was sitting around the shop waiting to become “something”..and tonight was THE night!  Just happened to have some beautiful hematite stones on hand and they look scrumptious with the etched silver! Working on some new designs but keep coming back to this one-looks clunky but wears beautifully.  This is a design from Leslie Kail Villarreal whose course I took earlier this year-a must for any metalsmith!

 

Finally some shop time!

It’s been an insane 4 months and it was so relaxing just to get a couple hours to play tonight.  Had some things I wanted to try out and this was one of em’…I  had seen something similar online and was dying to try my version.  I had already etched a sheet of sterling silver and made a batch of ear wires in advance so just had to cut out and form-giving these a trial run tomorrow!

Adore working with silver!
