I've made a lot of rings of pipe cleaners. But they've all been Pipe Cleaners, the arts and crafts supply. Today's ring is made of a pipe cleaner, the instrument you might use to clean a pipe.

Materials: pipe cleaner, reference to a piece of surrealist art that comments on references

Bitsy was feeling a bit under the weather, so I thought a ring meant for putting on boo-boos might be apropos.

Materials: Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandgages

But it did have one very nice ring!

Materials: Nordic Heritage in metallic form

Bitsy made a fairy house roof (and looked bad-ass, but also domestic, which is kind of how she rolls).

I braided a ring.

Materials: lots of copper

Visiting Bitsy's parents' house means we get to relax. And enjoy her mom's garden. We ate from it at night (OK, all day), but in the morning, I got to use it for a ring.

Materials: garlic!

Bre made me several rings.

And the great thing about open source is: I get to take what others have done, and expand on it!

Materials: Polymer, Kitty Treat, Invention

Hat tip again: Bre Pettis for all the reasons as yesterday's
