Ring a Week 2011

I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in RAD (ring a day) last year. This challenge thought me a lot and gave me more confidence in my work. I met a lot of incredible talented artists from around the world, who share the same passion for art and jewelry. 
A lot of the artists who participated in RAD where a little sad that our journey was over. This is the main reason why Thomasin Durgin decided to form a new group for us to continue with our journey.
RAW(ring a week) counts with 264 artists who are creating rings in any medium or material. Everybody is welcome to join the group at any time. 
Lots of my friends are now participating in RAW like Kelly Russell, who has been posting in the blog about her rings. I am very happy to see them all in this challenge.

My first month of RAW is over. 
I managed to create 5 rings.

Barbara Becker Simon Class Photos - Part Two

Here is the latest batch of gorgeous rings that came out of the Barbara Becker Simon class which was held at Ann Davis's new home classroom . Check out these beauties!

This delicious box ring was made by Sherry Chaples. This is easily the most difficult construction discussed in class...and Sherry clearly expertly tackled it.

This stunning ring was made by Cindy Miller. You can't tell from the picture but the top of the ring is actually slightly angled forward. I think this is so it is less effort to blind someone with the bling on her ring! Ha!


This beauty was made by Roxan Waluk. Roxan is so quiet in class...I was just a couple seats down from her and I look up two days later and POW! She stuns me with this amazing ring. But hold onto your seats, look at what else she did:

An expertly set marquis cut stone and look at all the wee little stones around the edge of the box! Believe me, it is "SQUEE" worthy!

Finally, here is Ann Davis's va-va-VOOM sparkly cocktail ring! Can you stand that stone?!! This ring is just amazing and it is supersized to boot so she is going to be blinding everyone she meets when she wears it.

I know there are some more pictures out there so I will post when I get another batch.

How about you? Do you like wearing lots of bling or are you more subtle in your adornment? I tend to be subtle but I do love wearing huge cocktail rings!
