and went to work wire-wrapping rings. What joy!
I started with silver wire, as I typically use, then ventured out a bit...
I decided to try color wire. These two rings represent my first attempts working with color-over-copper wire. The rose-color added a bit of fun and flair to the pieces, so I began experimenting with more with colors! (It was sort of like I had been coloring with just one crayon for years and suddenly had a new box full of colors!
Once I got started, I had to try several new colors. I was having too much fun!
So next I tried mixing silver with an aqua-colored wire. Then came copper... (some without beads, some with)...
and then... back to silver again, which will always be my true favorite!
Now I'll have to find a place for rings on my website. (What a nice problem to have!)
Whether it's a new tool, a new color, a new technique, or whatever new thing you want to try, happy experimenting! Please let us know how it goes!

Glad I finally realized you have a blog! I LOVE the last ring photo with the little blue (square?) stone.
Thank you, Krista! I probably should not admit online, but it was one of those pieces that didn't turn out as I planned...it sort of turned out better than I planned. I was trying to wrap it similar to the others, but somehow the shape of the bead just wasn't permitting the "order" I was trying to impose upon it. It wanted to swirl off and do it's own thing. I finally stopped fighting the wire and decided it looked rather interesting that way. Here is to artistic accidents! :-) --Sharyl
