RAW #4

got it done before the weekend this week! how? who knows :)

this one is a variation on my distressed granulation series.

RAW #3

i was a bit rushed this week, life getting in the way, but did another painted wood ring. this time it has raised areas and tried to incorporated the rivets into the painting instead of placing them randomly.

and man, just realized i really need some lotion! :)

RAW 1 & 2

there's a group on flickr called RAW: Ring-a-Week.

last year they did ring-a-day which was a bit much for me, but figured i could handle a ring a week! got off to a rocky start with travel and house guests, but here are my first 2 week rings. week one is just a little late ;)

both rings are painted wood, riveted to a sterling silver ring assembly.

the cube looks like it would be heavy or uncomfortable, but it's really light weight and sits nicely on the hand.

Happy 2011!

happy new year all! even if it's a wee bit late (insert sheepish grin here).

was partying my tush off to help celebrate my middle sister's 40th and it was quite the bash!

so happy 40th J!!!! above is me and youngest sister, M, whoopin' it up at the parteeee.

more bling to come as i am committing to participate in RAW52 - a ring-a-week challenge on flikr. will keep you posted on how that goes, especially since with travel and house guests, i have already managed to miss week 1! never fear, i'll just have to do 2 rings for week 2 :)

have a great week, hopefully it's not as blustery where you are as it is here!
