Well, I broke two of my prong rings tonight trying to get them ready for the show. Jewelry is so frustrating. I have an idea and a sketch. I get it approved, start working on it, and then the teacher comes along and starts asking questions like, "How are you going to attach that to the metal?" my response, "I'll glue it" WRONG! I can rivet it or sew it or make this really complicated time consuming rim and glue it. Needless to say, my stubborn streak shows and that ring isn't finished. The next ring I was going to rivet together, WRONG! "Use prongs, that way it will be elegant and raised up instead of just a box sitting on a ring." I actually like that idea, its just that there is one week left until my rings are due, and sometimes you make sacrifices to meet deadlines.
My cast rings came in the mail today. They are pretty neat. Thank goodness all I had to do was cut of the sprue, file, sand, brush, and heat and pickle ten times. It went fast and was done.
I guess I am going back to the studio tomorrow to sew the ring together. Aaugh. I am glad that the teacher is tough. It makes me work and learn, I just have this awful headache.
