My creative space... (handmade wedding ring)
So, I went back to my old studio and made Adams wedding ring. I was having so much fun making it that I didn't take many photos, but here it is before I added the gold band. The gold band is made from Adam's parents wedding rings which were melted down and shared amongst the three brothers. So it's a bit special. The silver is recycled from past projects.
I rolled the silver out to the right size, beat it to add texture and soldered it round. Then I did the same with the gold, making it just big enough to slip over the top when I heated it. I soldered the gold onto the silver, then continued to beat it the right size.
Pickled it (acid bath cleaner), polished it and scrubbed it and voila!
I'm really happy with how it turned out, and how long it took me (only 5 hours). Adam absolutely loves it and said it's exactly what he wanted. And it didn't cost us (or the planet) anything :)
