Unfurl and show your inner beauty

You may recall a few weeks ago that I showed you a new ring I had made of a flower unfurling.

At the time, I felt I wanted some color on the inside of the bud so the title "unfurl and show your inner beauty" made more sense with the color representing your inner beauty.  I tried a few techniques to try and add bright color but they weren't very successful,  so I decided to put 22K gold on the inner of the petals - suggestive of precious....

I like the contrast - not a bright color as I had originally thought - but I think this works better.

I  seem to be enjoying rings at the moment even though I've always thought making rings wasn't terribly good business wise because of people wanting different sizes...but I guess as long as I make them to fit one of my fingers, even if they don't sell, I'll enjoy them!

What do you think?  Do you like the gold?

Unfurl - and show your inner beauty

Spring is such a beautiful season. The garden just looks stunning right now with all the new flowers.

And so I just had to make a flower. This time, a ring entitled "Unfurl".

I wanted to grasp the unfurling stage - when the flower begins to reveal itself and show you it's real beauty. And so the ring serves as a reminder to the wearer to show their beauty within.

I'm mulling over the idea of making more of these and adding color either to the outside or the inside...
What do you think?

So during this springtime - make sure you unfurl and show the beauty within.
