True Individuality-Adornment of the Hand


I recently finished a three piece series for a ring show at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. The show title is "True Individuality-Adornment of the Hand"and opens Feb 26th at the Foster Gallery.

This ring, titled Toads Eye, was inspired by two fossils found on the beach this summer. I think I found one and my son Evan found the other. We had quite a haul that day!

When the fossils were stacked they looked like a toadstool. I put them together on the kitchen window ledge and over the next few months ideas started to mairnate.

More later....
