I’m particularly happy with how today’s ring turned out. I bought a soldering video and tried a few of the techniques in it. Now I wish I could have a do-over on all the things I’ve soldered in the last 10 years.

Ring-A-Day: Sherif Ring
Ring-A-Day: LPGA Ring
Â
My aunt Hilda played 18 holes of golf almost daily in her retirement. She was a huge fan of the LPGA. We attended the tournament every year for her birthday.

Ring-A-Day: Plumbing and Hematite Ring
Played with some more resin and brass plumbing fittings. Dropped some hematite stars and Swarovsky crystals into the resin. Turns out they have the same index of refraction, so the red dots are all you see instead of the facets on the crystals.

Ring-A-Day: Sponge and Shells Ring
The sea biscuit (not the horse, the shell) had the same problem as the pink umbonium shells — it floats. I came back to my resin 8 hours later to find the sea biscuit trying to escape. The red stuff was some sponge that washed ashore. It was velvety red when I found it. Drying in the sun, it got a little dull. The resin brought back the wet color.

Ring-A-Day: Fisherman’s Ring
I found a pair of hooks in the ocean, luckily not with my feet. They’re safely embedded in resin now. Some other fun shore finds are encased with them.
