I never really blogged about it because it was a really busy time. If you ever get a chance to take a class with Brandon, I recommend it. He is a kick for sure. Full of energy and ready to share what he knows. The class was even more fun since Brenda, Deb, Katie, Carmen, and Ann were also taking it.
I had played with soldering only a couple times but never really made anything. So the goal of this class for me was to make a ring. I used one of the cabs I have from Gary Wilson and made the ring below.
It's not perfect. It's big for a pinky ring. It was suppose to be for my ring finger but I cut the band too small. The bezel was a challege to smooth down and I still need to work on it. But it's OK...I'll take it for my first try.
This class did hook me on soldering. With the price of silver so high I decided to turn in my silver scrap and use the credit to get a mini torch.

Looks very nice to me, you could always gift it to someone with small fingers.

Gail, your ring looks great. It really is a fun class.
Wow, it turned out fabulous! I haven't finished mine yet - bezel is too deep so I have to file it down. Still say metal clay is waayyy easier!
Very nice, Gail. Nice job fitting the stone,
