Die Forming for Fun

This is a ring I made Thursday night.  I just had an idea in my head and I couldn't get past it until I made it.  I gave myself three hours to just crank it out so I could move past it.  The craftsmanship is dreadful but I still like the ring as a concept.  I just pushed through it and didn't look back.  It's a nice study of die forming, if nothing else.  It's got a nice weight and sturdiness to it.  Maybe one day I will make a better version.

  1. good exploration- I think sometimes it helps students to do side projects like this- exciting, quick, see something realized....as long as it doesn't interfere with the project :)
