ring a day challenge

i joined the ring a day challenge started by nina dinoff on flickr about 20 days ago. the idea is to make a ring a day for an entire year, no matter what materials you have on hand. needless to say it often proves to be quite a task despite the fact that almost any material will do. it certainly helps to push one into uncharted territory and to try materials and ideas on for size -- literally. lots of fun. take a look at the group pool -- everything from silly to sublime--the whole gamut.
these are some of my offer- rings to date. some have been prototypes for actual pieces in metal. others are still ideas in the works, and others such as my strawberry ring...have been eaten... -- jelly beans are next i think.... :)
