Today's ring has been through the ringer, so to speak. This is not how it began! Originally, I planned to master granulation (hah! how naive I was!) and add it to the top surface and set small cabochons within the granules. I have not yet mastered that technique, though, and really that was WAY too huge an undertaking.

But after managing to get a bit of granulation to fuse down, I switched gears and added some torch fired enamel, though with an ill prepared surface and uneven firing it only worked in some places. Luckily, I happen to love how mottled and organic the surface looks now!

I love the ring form, and how when it is worn it actually covers three fingers. VERY cool! What else could be added to the 'table' of the ring? Limitless!
