This has been my most successful and enjoyable project to date; inspired by rocks, minerals, bones and coral, from a trip to Manchester Museum. I was further inspired by symbiosis in nature and rock formations combining multiple types.
I created inspiration boards using images from Pinterest, check it out at: http://www.pinterest.com/ahales0144/coralbonesstones/
Some initial metalwork samples, piercing, granulation, drilling, doming, soldering...
Final collection of three copper & silver rings intended for limited edition batch production, the small domed pieces were a huge challenge to solder on but I've learnt a lot about the technique this way. I really like the combination of intricate piercing with silver granulation.
