I have made more wire rings than I have fingers and toes.
There is something fun about wrapping wire around a ring
mandrel and seeing what I can come up with.
The rings I make most often are the one-bead rings like the
red and green ones in the photo. My inspiration for this style can be found at
“Oh Everything Handmade.”
The other rings in the photo are experiments. The copper
ring has a button from an old Bedazzled kit attached to it. The blue ring is
styled after the wire-wrapped cuff bracelets I like to make.
I have learned an important fact while making these rings.
Even if I start wrapping the wire around the size 7 mark on the ring mandrel
the actual ring size will shrink a little once I start the final wraps and/or
bead attachments.
Thankful Thought
Today I am thankful for the woodland creatures I see
periodically around my house. I am fully aware of the potential danger and
damage associated with wild animals, but seeing them around my house reminds me
of when I was a girl growing up in West Virginia. Back then it was so common to
see a fox, deer, raccoons and even a bear around my family home.
