How do you improve on a masterpiece? How do you make the Mona Lisa Mona Lisa-ier? Do you think of yourself so highly that you'd go at The David with a chisel?
While I'm in the middle of remixing last week's rings, I'm afraid I fell down last night. And so, Bitsy's ring today was a bit unorthodox, and she did not wear it all day...
A couple people suggested using my own hair for a ring, but I think Liz Schackmann (amont others) can testify that this is an idea I've had several times without the need for prompting.
Courtesy of my dad, the ancient mariner. He's taken well to retirement, puttering on the sailboat he's making in the garage and doting on his darling grandchildren. I remember him showing me how to make this knot when I went through a jewelry-making phase when I was a kid. I imagine he uses it quite a bit on his boat, pulling things together.
It's a little cumbersome (like marriage), so it has a vessel for a little love potion. Words of wisdom from MOM.
Materials: ceramic, glaze
One of the joys of staying with my sister is the wake-up service provided by my niece and nephew. This morning a jaunty Maggie Morris asked a groggy Tante Bitsy(bot) to choose a hand. Happily, I chose well, and was presented with this adorable ring designed by Maggie (age five). Why ribbons? To make it pretty, of course.
Material: ribbons
Can you see it? My nephew Noah made me this ring out of tape. It's sticky side out.
Last night my sister Sarah called me to let me know the drop had been made... "there's a film canister is in the mail pile". She's been a knitter as long as I can remember, so it's fitting that she'd knit me a beaded ring.
Materials: That's right... a knit wire and seed bead ring.
