ring a day #54 #55 & #56
Originally uploaded by wildflowerdesigns

after participating in the ring a day challenge for two months (i still have a couple of rings to take pics of), i have decided to take a break.
i still think the challenge is a brilliant idea and it has really helped me focus and expand my skill set.
however, with such limited time at the bench, i often find myself stressed to create a ring and then have no time for any other projects.
i hope to get back into the challenge in a couple of months when my schedule allows.

see, i wasn't lying; i am getting the shop updated for the humongous SALE this weekend.
these are some of the stacking rings i have been working on.
i still haven't decided what i think.
i bought a ring mandrel with a flat side to use for large cabs, but i decided to use it and set several small stones on its surface instead.
