RING #2 : sheet-18ga bronze
-nickel silver tube
-sterling silver rivets
As we all know, I look at traditional korean patterns for a lot of my work. I can't help that i'm completely drawn to it.
After i saw Katy and Danielle's sheet rings i was really inspired by their sawing skills. Sawing is something that i've never really been very good at. No matter how much i try to stay on the line it gets messed up. Usually filing and sanding fixes it but i wanted to focus on that skill for this project because i know it was something i had to work on.
I pierced out a floral silhouette pattern out of sheet bronze. I looked at a lot of patterns and kind of made my own up. I like that it's not too obvious that it's floral. I wanted to try to incorporate the finger holes in the pattern, it makes it uncomfortable to wear though. It's more of an art piece than a functional ring. I also thought it would be interesting for the ring to have layers so even though it was a flat sheet, it still had dimension.
