There are so many pretty designs you can create with metal.
This ring was easy to craft using Metal Complex Tools and Findings. I needed my pieces to have patterns as opposed to letters so I didn’t have to work with as much precision as I do when stamping a name into metal.
After stamping my hearts into the circle and question mark shape into the petals of the flower I used a dapping block (coming to John Bead soon) to make my pieces curvy.
Then I made a small batch of Black Apoxie Sculpt to attach all my sections. John Bead sells ring blanks with a pad. These are easy to attach metal to.
Here is the first layer. Ring pad to Apoxie Sculpt to the metal circle.
Then I flipped my samples so I could see better. A small circle of Apoxie was used to attach the flower to the circle. Then I made one last attachment. The tiny circular mirror. I used Apoxie Sculpt for this attachment too.
I let everything cure like this!
My ring features hearts, question marks and a mirror. Perhaps it will show you who loves you.
