Hammered and blackened copper strips formed on a mandrel. Split design allows adjustibility.

Ring-A-Day: Hematite Star
Found some coated wire for a crystal radio and a hematite bead in the shape of a star. The band is a copper core with twisted copper wire wrapping.

Ring-A-Day: 0323120925
Today, I let the camera name the ring instead of going the Jackson Pollock route of Untitled. After hammering a copper core and peening the surface, I wrapped it with brass wire. The two metals have different amounts of give. the wire ended up very loopy. This ring might have otherwise been called wreath-ring.

Ring-A-Day: Stainless Wrap Ring
I started with 12 feet of double wound wire (twist 6 ft halves together, then fold in half and twist again) and wrapped it into a size 4. It only hammered out to a size 5. Not quite as malleable as copper.

Ring-A-Day: 18ft Brass Wire Ring.
Today I started with 18ft of fine brass wire and double twisted it. It went on the mandrel as a size one and ended up at size 5 — perfect for wifie.
