Ring by Mistake

So many little things to do, so little time.

Today I will complete a large order commission by setting a million little rhinestones into bumble bee pins for a corporate account, a task I am not looking forward to but someone has to do it. I will also spend some time preparing a casting batch for tomorrows Lost Wax Casting Class, it is their last casting batch and everything has to turn out. In today's batch we have reproductions of a really cool ring made by Charlene Serdan, a mistake that turned out to be a masterpiece. Charlene was carving her very first ring and cut a little too close into the ring as student often do and the result was fabulous! It looks like a log, but better, there is no way you could plan something like this. We made a rubber mould for reproductions in her last class and will add them to this casting batch, perhaps she will sell the copies ;) Take a look at Charlenes bead work at www.cserdan.etsy.com.
