Corona (Not the Beer!)

Just finished the second crown ring and I can't wait to start making more of these pieces.

The first ring I created in this fashion was a European style crown, I decided to attempt a "tribal design style" for this piece and I love the result.

I love examining all the swirl designs and patterns. I let my imagination turn the swirls into animals and I see how many different animals I can spot.

I haven't made an "official" list with all the animals I have "imagined" so far but the ones that I see most frequently are ducks, snakes and owl's. What do you see?

I think I enjoy letting my imagination run wild with interpretation because, I don't design these rings before making them. I prepare my materials and then let the pieces create themselves so to speak. It's an intuitive and serendipitous process for me.

Can't wait to start making a bunch of these rings.
I'll be back with more to share soon.
Until next time,
Peace and Love
