Ladybug Ring




I finally got my ring back from the display case- here's my latest finished creation. It's a ladybug (of course) on a leaf. The leaf looks a lot like a surfboard, I know, but I didn't have any wider wax to make my model from. I antiqued it so you can see the details a bit better. On Tuesday my next project is due- I have a bunch of cleanup work to do!
I really love this class- I've been wanting to learn how to cast metal since I was in high school! I was never able to take it then. My grandfather used to do this kind of stuff as well and has all the equipment in his garage...hmmmm....
I didn't make all butterfly jewelry, aren't you proud of me?
