~wire wrapped ring~

 I love organic, primitive looking jewelry.

This ring was totally made by accident while

I was trying to make another ring, getting

directions from my Mom on how to do it.

I learned that my Mom is really not good

at directing me thru a project. She told me I needed

36 inches of wire to start with.......for one ring! 

Once we realized it was waaaayyyyyy

too much wire, I snipped off the excess and

just started bending and wrapping it around the

ring mandrel. This is what I ended up with:

           I've been wearing it everyday since.....

I love it. 

(Pretend my hands don't look so old and dry in this picture.)

The "real" ring we were trying to make........

.........HIDEOUS!

It stands about an inch off my finger.

I am NOT exaggerating either.

I don't know why I don't have a picture of it.  

I've got lots of wire projects in the works.

Well.....not actually "in the works".

It's more accurate to say that I have lots of

wire projects in my head and on my list.

We'll see how many of them I actually get to.

I'm not busting my ass this year to get things done.

I'm tired.
