R-A-D #256 9/13/2010 “Wedding favor”
All I can think of when I look at the rings that I made this week for Ring-a-Day is that they are diverse in terms of materials, forms and shapes. All of them are ephemeral and not a single one is meant to be wearable.
1. R-A-D #257 9/14/2010 “Temporary Files Folder”, 2. R-A-D #258 9/15/2010 “Wild Cyclamen”, 3. R-A-D #259 9/16/2010 “Rock in B&W”, 4. R-A-D #260 9/17/2010 “For the love of geometry”, 5. R-A-D #261 9/18/2010 “Feather pen”, 6. R-A-D #262 9/19/2010 Faux “Faux Bone”
I used paper tags, a wild cyclamen, a found rock, an old ceramic bead, a feather and some pins. By keeping the design as simple as possible, I wanted to showcase these materials.
Here’s a few of my favorite rings this week, from the Ring-a-Day group on Flickr. Enjoy!
