Beautiful art! Have you done any rings?
a couple... I now have a ring mandrel so I am good to go.... The wire I use is half hard for ease of working. In order to harden it up It has to be hammered a bit.... either with a leather hammer or a chasing hammer.... Then you almost cant bend it.Beautiful art! Have you done any rings?
That's beautiful!Speaking of beads, a way to mix beads and chickens is decorating egg shells! I was learning to embroidery on eggs, using different threads, ribbons, etc, and beads. I love all this crafty stuff.
Internet example, not my photo

I have patterns for wire only rings and for rings with Savorsky crystals... and those same can have beaded semi precious stone beads in their place. Even Cabochons...
I am more comfortable working with stones that have holes in them for rings.
An example is off of one of Lan Anh's tutorials
