Autumn Ring

Autumn Ring
(Garnet set in sterling silver)
Autumn is in the air...... Lately I've experimented with different textures for my rings. I love the hammered look but its time to expand and explore. The texture for this ring was created by roll-printing a dry leaf onto the silver at an annealed state. Then patina was applied to darken the metal and, using steel wool, I brushed the top surface which left the deep surfaces dark.
I think I will experiment with organic textures more...I like it!! Any one want to donate a finger so I can roll-print it onto silver strip?? Hahaha...I'm kidding! But suggestions would be cool....
