Laying out the ring front...
...and back.
One finished ring...
...with a raw Bordeleria lock center, silk embellishments and beads.
A second ring, accented with mohair off-cut strands and Angelina...
...and cut into individual petals (on left).
A multicolored ring...
...with extra colored beads for 'bling'. :)
On our last morning of class...
...Nicola did a demonstration of felt flowers, beads and rings.
While I'm not generally much of a jewelry maker...
...I was rather taken with the jaunty style of her felted rings!
I made the first one with orange, short fiber merino...
...embellishing it with a small raw lock from the farm...
...(for remembering).
I also tried several more in different forms...
...cutting some into petals...
...and stitching on glass and colored beads for fun.
I may try making a few more of these at some point...
...since Nicola did a 'spiky' version that was really appealing! :)
