Simple. Easy. Happy Birthday to me.

Ring-A-Day: Birthday Ring
Ring-A-Day: Sandy Ring
Our power is intermittent, so I decided to try hand-engraving a ring with some home-made tools fashioned from broken tungsten carbide drill bits. Not the worst ring ever, but I could sure use a book on the proper technique for engraving. Hint, hint.

Ring-A-Day: Silicone Rubber Ring
I cut today’s ring out of an old clear silicone mold with a scalpel. It actually feels kinda nice on my finger. I might try casting silicone rings before this is over. 105 rings to go!

Ring-A-Day: Sea Urchin and Hermit Crab Ring
Found the hermit crab on the beach in St. George. They’ll use almost anything for a shell. It turns out that they follow a fashion cycle just like us. As they grow, they get bigger shells. How they choose depends on supply. A few years ago there was a shortage of shells. Good for the shells’ owners. Bad for the hermit crab population. This year a spiky spiral shell was in abundance, so that’s what they were all wearing on St. George Island. Mine, however, shopped on Madison Avenue for her fine urchin skirt.

Ring-A-Day: Espresso Ring
The beans that make your morning work out right. Without this dark roasted bean, I couldn’t think straight. (That explains a lot.)
What’s your favorite preparation? Black? Milk and sugar? With chocolate? Foam?
