New Beaded Rings

Here are few photos of something new I have been playing around with. My glass artist friend Jan Locander and I are always trying to come up with something new and I was playing around with making a few new ring styles with her fabulous beads. I know that I can buy some of these mountings pre-fab but I prefer to make them myself. It is good for the soul sometimes to go out in the shop and pound on some metal with a hammer. So... Here are a few photos of the grand effort. Note the lovely hand model (My hubby).
