My Story Making Rings

Hello!

I would like to share with all you my experience of learning how to make a ring.

First of all, let me tell you that this challenge was not easy, but it was so funny and exciting.

I love rings, especially sterling silver. I could buy rings all the time! When I look at handmade wire wrapped rings, I always tell myself, “WOW, they are so pretty, I will never be able to make one, they are so difficult”! But then I attended a Bead Show and noticed those ring with beads really look great, so that was when I started with the idea to make them.

My first regular ring was an adjustable ring with loops. Hmmm, easy right?!
The difficult thing was when I tried to make a wire wrapped ring.


Please look my pictures;































Horrible, right? LOL!

At the beginning, I was practicing with markets, hahaha! I really thought this was just waste of time, since my rings were weird and ugly. They were imperfect, then they were so big or too small.

I started looking  some pictures on Etsy from other designers and I was really motivated to make more rings, specially, because they were so pretty and I don’t have to buy rings anymore hihihihi, so I continued practicing...

Now look at my next picture;




What do you think? A little better right?. So, my enthusiasm grew and people started asking me for those rings. I have been telling them to wait until my rings look normal and pretty LOL!.

After watching some videos and taking some tutorials, everything looked more interesting and I started to love making rings.

My happyness for the rings was too much,  that I started dreaming with them hahahahahaha.

Later, I had to buy a ring mandrel...it was so cool!, and I made the following rings:


Now... Much better, right?

Finally, after 2-3 days of practice, I made these rings:






















(This was a base ring to add any kind of beads)




WOW!, now I can say that I can make rings lol!

As you can see, it was funny. Now, I am feel happy because I can tell that I can make wire wrapped rings! and I really enjoy making them.
