How to make beautifully textured, perfectly fitting Spinner Rings – tutorial ebook by JoanneTinley

10,00 GBP

Spinner rings, prayer rings, meditation rings, fret rings. No matter what you pick to call them, I enjoy making these rings – although I prefer the very first three names to the last! I take pleasure in developing brand-new combinations of textures, finishes and spinners, and definitely delight in individuals asking “how on earth did you fit that ring on there?”! The curving of the primary ring holds the spinners or satellites in location whilst still enabling you to spin them round -. A lovely and playful piece of jewellery

The primary task in this book teaches you the best ways to make the ring revealed above, including the best ways to create the wavy edge to the primary ring. 3 variations are also consisted of and explained to help you make your ideal spinner ring in your own design and to teach you as many methods as possible! I will also cover a description of all the tools and products that you require, how to size both the main and spinner or satellite rings completely, soldering tips, suggestions for using design punches to texture the silver and 2 different approaches of producing the anticlastic shape (in other words, curved in 2 various directions) of the primary ring, total with images to make the explanations as clear as possible. Although I will teach you how to exercise your ring size I have actually also consisted of a ring size chart at the end of the book.

Do not worry if you do not have the very same materials in stock that I have actually used in the examples, or hammers and punches that give the same textures – try out exactly what you have available. The satellite rings can often be made with wire left over from other tasks. Above all, have fun!
