Bayonet Ball #2

I just finished the bayonet ball in sterling. Also discovered that it will hold one Excedrin Migraine or two Advil. I'll take it to work with me and give it one final polish to really get a nice mirror finish.


I toyed around with a brushed finish first, but it just didn't look quite right. My bayonet skills are still a bit rusty, but I think if I make a few of these that won't be an issue for long.

Today I also carved a "normal" sized bird ring. I plan on casting both that and the "normal" sized v-channel ring this week. If I didn't have skinny fingers I would have been able to just make molds off of the rings I already made. I think the rest of the day is going to be working on a bunch of beadwork to try and get that out of the way.
