Today's creation. Okay, this is a complicated design. I wanted to make something that speaks to my frame of mind recently, which has been rather dark. This ring is called "Poisonous Thoughts", and is created using a tiny porcelain doll head under a glass dome. A black flower blooms from the head, accented with a highly toxic seed from a vine that grows on our property. My intent was to visualize capturing and containing my black thoughts--essentially imprisoning them, but allowing me to see them so I will remember not to let these thoughts and emotions overwhelm me. Whew...and you thought I just made pretty jewelry...

Hi Karen, I too have been feeling blue so I read your posts with great interest and empathy. The resulting creation of yours is fab and I hope it was cathartic making it. I can't wait till I feel better so I can make something too, although I am persevering with a knitting project meanwhile as it is easier to manage a ball of wool in bed than lots of my jewellery making gear! hope you get back to some pretty projects again soon as well as your new darker pieces!
