R-A-D #216, #217, #218 “Fall Preview. Stackable trio”
At the beginning of the week I decided to post six rings in one day, so that I ‘m not five rings behind anymore. I made two sets of stackable rings, one that is reminiscent of autumn and one that features little critters in sterling silver.

The following day, I spotted an oxidized copper “tulip” in my scrap pile and it was immediately turned into a ring:

Contrasting elements was the theme that inspired the next ring, which was made using coarse sandpaper and a soft crochet flower:

Thursday’s ring, besides the making of it, also involved a certain manipulation of the image, in order to convey a weathered, nostalgic feeling:

My friend Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs has recently travelled to Australia. Her wonderful photos inspired me to make this ring, using an australian stamp:

Back to setting pebbles and also trying a different type of setting this time:
R-A-D #226 8/14/2010 “Black Pebble”
I have no hesitation to melt, destroy or disassemble anything that doesn’t work anymore. This ring was made using one piece of an old bracelet, just before I decide what to do with the tourmaline chips:
