I have had a lot of fun so far with the things I have been making. In order to keep my stress levels down, I am not letting myself get worked up about the rings. I am trying to keep it simple, while letting myself explore the material. So today I worked on the ring made from stock. For this ring, I really decided to embrace the forms that stock comes from. Instead of trying to make it sheet so that it was more familiar to work with I formed the stock in a way that it sits on my knuckle. If you uncurl your finger, it falls off. The point is to force your finger to stay in that position. This ring represents trigger finger which is similar to carpal tunnel. The tendons in your hand tighten up so that your finger is stuck in this curled position.
Tomorrow I want to work on patinaing my arthritis ring and finishing my wire ring components. I hope it turns out well!
