Complementary Studies - My First Rings

First day doing jewelry making today, and we were making a basic band ring using copper.

Although it looks simple the processes were vast, I used the rest of my time to create another ring using some scraps, this was an experimental piece, and allowed me to practice soldering, in particular the addition on top of the band.

The option after making the ring is to put it in a solution to make it 'shiny' again, but I like the rustic 'unpolished' look.

My Letraset Girl

Over Christmas I received a set of letraset pens, and this is the first proper drawing I've done with it,

it's such an amazing pen to build up layers, and I'm just really happy with what I've done.

Cat Frost

This is just a photo I took with my film SLR of a cat at a grave yard, it relates to my topic at the moment where I've made a childrens story about a cat who meetsit's ghost great grandfather cat, I didn't need to edit the picture and often I don't as I like the photo as it comes out but I've added a 'frosty' quality to it which I find really endearing and gentle to look at.

P.S. I didn't place the cat there, it was just a beautiful black cat visiting the graves
