Creative Spring Rings..........

Well, here are some of the new rings I have created.  I promised you pictures and here they are.  They are getting a great response. 
I created these designs using 20 gauge wire and a two holed slider bead.  I particularly liked this style of bead/slider because of the enamel and Austrian crystals added to them.  I think it adds so much to the overall look.  It is a little more difficult working with multiple wires at one time.  However, the finished look is well worth the effort.  When worn, these rings are what you might call a knuckle to knuckle ring.  Very attention grabbing on your hand.


The Golden Floral Ring is done with a nesting wrap design that accentuates the colors in the slider. 

These designs were each individually inspired by the bead/slider itself. 
I personally as an artist like to look at my supplies and let them
"speak to me" before creating.  This allows for each item to be an original and unique.  I enjoy creating this way much more than I do assembly line creating (which I do for some items).  I hope that you enjoy these as much as I did making them.  This technique can be used with all kinds of multi holed beads/slides.
