Week 6 - Rings

Recently, for some unknown reason, I've stopped wearing rings.  This weeks ring challenge posed an interesting issue.  How do I inspire myself to make something I don't normally wear?  Well,  I tried a tutorial, and love the ring.  I think I'll start wearing them again.

I found a fun wire ring tutorial through Craft Gossip Rosette Wire Wrapper Ring Tutorial.  I love Craft Gossip.  The site features articles on all sorts of crafty tutorials and ideas.

The next ring was made using this tutorial Simple Wire Wrapped Ring Tutorial.

The tutorial for the third ring was emailed to me and I can't find a link to post.  Sorry.

Similar to the ring in the email tutorial

A red rosette, an attempt at leaves, and another view of the ring above

Making rings (and wearing them) was more fun than I expected.  Everything was quick to make and fairly simple.

This week, I will be making a necklace or bracelet that showcases the wire used to string the beads.
