Elven Swirls

Otherwise titled:

Icepack +Injured foot+Beads+Wire=Elven Swirly Rings!

Yes, I injured my foot. Fifth injury since August. I think I pulled a muscle or teared one. I (hope) think it's the latter, not the former.

Anyway, bring on the Elven Swirls! 

After watching Shaylynn's tutorial for easy rings, (This is insanely easy! You must try!) I decided to make one. One turned into five. I actually would have made more, but I was out of wire. The only reason I had enough wire to make even just five was because while looking for something in my closet I found this bag. It was even cleverly marked.

So I made these rings!

I strung seed beads onto the wire, and then put a pretty bead at the front. :) Very, very, easy! And fun. :)

The Chronicles of Ring Making

So today, after school was over I decided to try Shaylynn's Rosette Ring tutorial.

Meet attempts one and two:

Attempt 1

attempt 2

Then, I got it.

It's earned a place of honor next to my claddagh ring.

I love this ring! Now, I never want to take it off, I'm so glad it fits! Sadly, I don't have a ring mandrel so I used a thick marker, it worked well.

Can't wait to go make some more rings...
