Wonderful Press! (I think...)

I recently made a Simple Spinner Ring for a nice customer in The Netherlands. She was very happy with it and took to her blog to exalt her new ring. At least that's what I think it says. My Dutch is rusty, so she assured me it's all good. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when someone is so excited by their new jewelry that they want to tell everyone about it. Thanks Nicole!

Curious as to what some of the comments to the post were, I took to my computer's translation function. I have only now stopped laughing long enough to make this post. I can't read this translation without wetting myself:

"Groovy! I have last at the world shop stand hesitate. But that is frequently large half-measures, I zoek more as an inch ring correctly simply ringvinger-ring.!"

I think this explains a lot of what goes wrong with foreign policy.

Simple Spinner

I finally did it. I wanted to make a spinner ring and here is my first go at it. Back to a very simple, almost stark, design. It has a very Scandinavian quality to me with plain band and the squared spinner. Sometime I think things just don't need anymore.



Basic, simple, strong, modern. The band is .25" wide and of heavier gauge so it has a really nice feel. The Simple Spinner Ring (catchy name huh?) is available in my Etsy shop.

Sproing Ring

Talk about evolution! The original design for this ring looks nothing like how this turned out. It's sort of a mish-mash of that design and my trying to figure out spinner rings. (A friend had left me her spinner ring to fix, so I got some "huh, how do they do that?....ooooohhhh" time with it.) And no, this isn't my version of a spinner ring though the rings do spin. Sort of looks like a spring that's sprung, hence the name Sproing. It's one-of-a-type and currently available in my Etsy shop. It's cute, huh? Vaguely anthropomorthic or bug-like or robotic. Or Sproingy.
