1st Ring-a-Week!
Here they are! My first rings for Ring-a-Week! I have some warm-up rings and then my “real” rings. Disclaimer: they’re done, but not polished all the way, just a quick tumble. I’ll post them again when they’re really finished, in terms of the polish.
This is actually a leftover bracelet link, but I looked at it and thought, hey, that could be a ring. It’s the kind of thing I might use in a pinch for Ring-a-Day. But since this is Ring-a-Week, not good enough.
But it did make me think of doing this:
Now, on to the PMC rings. This first one I made by making a washer and then turning that into a ring.
And another view:
And another ring, made by adding this topper I’ve had sitting on my bench for months to a simple band.
Here’s another view:
And I could have posted just one ring, but the idea is to be pushed to make more and more, so I didn’t want to cheat by holding back a ring to use for next week.
Next week’s ring is half done!
I’m having lots of fun, I hope you’ll consider joining Ring-a-Week, it’s not too late!

I love your photos on the metal clay washer turned ring! I have tried that (not in metal clay) but copper..and it came out way too big for a ring! There goes the measuring thing again.. it will be a part for a ring perhaps?
I love your rings . . . the folds on the first one and the texture are really creative. The straight on shot of the other ring, made it look like a flat topper . . . the topper is splendid. Very pretty!
