Pretty Rings On A Rotton Hand




So I was sitting around one day and was thinking. What can I make that I havent already made? Hmmmmm. I've made necklaces, I've sewn bows, I've made cuddle creatures. Then the idea hit me. Why dont I make some rings? not the ordinary cheap fake looking diamonds. Eck no.

I wanted something that stuck out. I wanted a "conversation" ring. Something unique and different. So I started ordering clear cabochons and looking for "unique" images. But what I failed to realize was I couldn't make something that wasn't my style. I cant sell something that I myself wouldn't wear. If I did I would be lying to myself and selling to customers I couldn't relate to. So I started picking out gothic and gamer images. A little gore and guts. I few SuperMario pictures. Then I was hooked. I surprised myself at where the actual images came from. Magazines, newspaper, comics. I have a lot more of my rings that are unmade at the moment. But here are the ones that are finished.
