"Ringing" in the New Year

I have a Christmas party to go to tonight and I am bringing a handful of rings I made this week...I'm going to just put the pile on the table and let everyone take their pick...hopefully the sizes will work...that's always tough!  We will see how it goes.

I did some wire wrapping/knot tying for these rings.  My first go at wire wrapping.  Boy is that hard!  For those of you who wire wrap---kudos to you!  yow!  I couldn't make two to turn out the same even thought I was working off the same pattern.



So, I decided to leave some shinny silver and some I put a patina on.  I'm not sure which I like more.  It will be interesting to see what my friends like.

 I used fine silver (99.9% silver) because it doesn't work harden as quickly.

For all those of you baking for Christmas, try making rings instead!
