three little birds on my doorstep
and a collection of rings in the shop {photo taken by Ian}
whew!
being back in the workshop yesterday after having been out for a while was.... different than I expected. my first project was a giant druzy ring I'd been working on since before the holidays. I'd just made the bezel beforehand, and yesterday attached the backplate. when I went to solder the band onto the setting, I overheated the backplate & melted two holes in the bezel, at places where I'd filed! ummm.... can I get a little mojo? please?
I guess every once in a while something like that is bound to happen... but I haven't had a piece not "go my way" in quite a while. grrrrr.......
and then I completed two lingering custom pieces, without a hitch.
and then I made this lovely BIRD RING,
using the face from an antique brooch that I've had about ten years & always wanted to do something special with.
so, everything turned out beautifully, after all.
....EVERYTHING...is looking BEAUTIFUL...as well...
