About ideas

This one did not last long. I tried to make a ring that looked as uneven and bent as possible. However I noticed when I was soldering it that it was too uneven to look good. It was more like a mishap than something roughly done. And that wasn't quite the idea I had in mind. So I had to even it out almost before I had a chance to finish my idea. I do want to publish some pictures of a failure as well.

Because there will be alot of failures, but this idea took place before I started snapping pictures of my work.Or rather during the time I realised that I should start snapping pictures of work in progress. And because of that there is no picture of the mishap ring. There is however a picture of the ring after I worked it out.

This is the wrong picture. It shows another piece, or rather several pieces that I'm currently working with. It is quite a tedious assignment, but really nice effects of it. A lot of small parts coming together. Well, enough of that, see the thing out of focus?

It's a snake, and it's resting inside the mishap ring that evened out. How it got there is still unknown to me. There are ALOT of stuff on my desk, and I can't really keep track of anything, everyday is a surprise. This little thing was a little thread of silver that didn't really come to life, rather took shape and place within the ring.

After hammering, filing and putting oxide on it. And then filing it again it turned out like this. So rather than the ring itself being uneven and rough, I worked with the surface. The red stone inside it is a crystal of rhodocrosite. It's my latest investment, it's rather fragile and I haven't the slightest idea of what to make of it. You will probably see more of it as I get ideas.
