"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." - Dalai Lama
To make this ring I used many of the techniques I have explained in past posts (check-em!) The ring itself is made of nickel-silver and I hammered and bent it using a ring mandrel and soldered it closed. Then I soldered an old watch setting to the ring. Next I painted the inside of the setting with ModPodge to seal off any cracks or crevices. Next, I put in the word "possible" that I cut out of an old dictionary. I think this might be my favorite word in the English language. If you take a second to consider it's meaning... it is inspiring. Really.. it applies to anyone's life... and anything you want to do. Most things are possible if making it happen is a priority to you. :)
Well, once my favorite word was adequately ModPodged into this watch setting, I covered it with resin.... several coatings. The reality is that I did this over the course of several days and only finished it on Friday 1/20/12. So here it is :) Enjoy the possibilities friends!
What do you do Period Ten? Period Ten is where learning is personal and you have the freedom and time to explore new ideas and pursue mastery in a skill or content area. This idea was born out of my passion for education and my belief in the importance of relevant and meaningful learning and creating. During "Period Ten," everyday in 2012, I am going to create and/or learn something new. Each week I will share my progress. To learn more, please visit the Period Ten page link. Enjoy!
