A Finger Rose

 

I was busy sewing all last week and this past weekend.  My project was hair clips, but, of course, I jumped around a bit.  I came up with the idea for this ring after my first set of hair clips.  

Sculptural rings have always been so beautiful to me.  I used to make them in metalsmithing class, but I don't have the tools or hand strength to really do that anymore.  This particular ring is purple and green in honor of Dinosaur Jr.  The lead singer, J Mascis, is obsessed with these colors.  The rose can be made in several different colors.

Hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
