Better Pics of the Bentwood Rings

I am hacking Chad's blog (Hi there...its Miranda!!!) to add some better photos of his rings.  Now, I am NOT a professional photographer and I will add to my defense that my camera is seriously not functioning properly....oh and I must add that taking pics indoors when it super gloomy outside does not make for fantastic lighting.  Anyhooooo, I thought I would show some of Chad's rings in a different setting.  You know, other than from his I-phone and having the rings posing on a paper towel.  LOL!!!! 
Maybe he can get a sale on one of these babies????



um yes, that is our floor...don't mind the crumbs!!!

More Bentwood Rings

I"m getting a little better at making these bentwood rings.  Here's a couple more I finished today.  I think I'm going to try and start selling them.  Any takers??

Wood Rings

I'm not sure why, but I'm having a really fun time making these wooden rings.  Maybe it's because people sell them on Etsy for $80 bucks a pop, maybe it's cause the finish turned out really good, or maybe it's because Miranda seems to actually like them.  I'm still practicing but I'm happy with how these first few turned out.

They are made by bending wood around some sort of jig, not by drilling a hole in a piece of wood.  On the outside you can't even see the seam.  At this point the inside is bare wood.  I'm still trying to find a method to easily finish the inside.
