Tree Ring, and Eggs


The green is a ring that is almost finished, carved in green wax to be cast into silver. I might use a bit of enamel with it. The silver ring is a finished master model that was originally carved into wax. I have some recasted tree rings... they still need to be cleaned up and liver of sulfur added to bring out the forms. I just got impatient and decided to post a picture of the model. Plus I wanted to see what the eggy wax one looked like. Sometimes seeing a picture of something I'm working on gives me a different perspective.

Thanks! You can fabricate rings (that is anneal, bend, and solder metal) as well as carve them. I'm essentially a sculptor gone small.

I love the tree ring. Great details. It looks like a puzzle ring I once had.
