197/365 marshmallow


This ring was suggested by Maria Whetman in the comments for this post. I initially tried to make it with no hands and just my mouth, but that proved to be extremely difficult and frustrating, and looked pretty disgusting. So I decided to make it with just one hand, my mouth, and a knife. The marshmallows are strawberry flavored and I thought they looked like ice cream, so I went with it.

196/365 Aden's ring


I'm visiting with friends and made their 8 year old daughter Aden this ring from copper, sterling, and citrine.



195/365 ez form


Yesterday I purchased some rectangular brass tubing from the hardware store. Then I drove across the street for gas and found this note of someone's federal tax info, the back has standard deduction and withholding calculations, it looks like this person made $14, 291.00 after taxes (rounding to whole dollars, of course). I guess we'll never know if they chose to donate $3 to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund.
