I'm in the same place as I was when I wrote yesterday, although today it's about 10 degrees cooler and the sky is more of a bluish-white. Which reminds me of a ring I made recently...
Yup, that's the color of the sky right now. The color of pale blue chalcedony, apparently... :-) This ring has a fabulous hammer-faceted chalcedony and is made of oxidized sterling silver wire. It's listed here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/74615748/cloudy-sky-ring-blue-chalcedony-and
Can I tell you how glad I am I make rings? It took me a while to actually decide to learn how and do it. I myself have loved rings since high school, when I wore a ring on every finger. You can count yourself lucky I don't have a picture of that! I wore long broomstick skirts, had the largest hair I could manage, and yes, numerous rings. I remember my reason for this being that I couldn't choose which ones to wear, so I had to wear them all. I even wore several on some fingers. Most of them were plain silver, and included a snake, a dolphin, a puzzle ring, and a Russian wedding ring. I've lost most of them by now (except, of course, my least favorite one) but the one I liked best I remember clearly- a small amethyst marble captured in a squiggle of silver wire. Someday I will recreate it, I can feel it...
My taste in rings is a bit different now. For one thing, I never wear more than three, spread out between two hands. I also prefer rings with large stones, which is a large part of what I go for when making rings, at least right now. Again, it's all about color!
My computer's been running super slow today, probably because I was using GarageBand earlier. I was using it to record an accompaniment track for my husband's cousin, so he could rehearse without me for his drag show next week. I love using the piano for unexpected purposes... I'll post pictures of it after it happens in a week!
Anyway, because it's running so slow, I've run out of time to write this post, so let me direct you to my latest treasury on etsy, called "Butterfly Effect;" http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4ddde142e5876d91ee215fd5/butterfly-effect and say... hasta manana!
