Silver Ring Made From A Cast Blade of Grass

I also started to make some of these rings a little while ago. I cast blades of grass in silver then made earrings and rings out of the pieces. I happen to love the whole blade of grass texture, but I must admit that it is a little bit different. Also the floating piece of metal on your hand is interesting enough to get a few people to wonder what it is. 

Work I Made as a Student

Seeming how I just started this blog here are a few more things that I have made recently.

"Dropping the Silver Ball" Cast Silver Ring

So the ring on the Header Is cast sterling silver. I made a wax copy first, then cast it in silver and cleaned it up. I really like working with silver but it can get pricey pretty fast.  This specific ring actually made it into the juried student art show at my school and is sitting in a pretty glass case in the gallery right now. How cool. Obviously I'm not a veteran "Artist" by any means; I just like to make things.
