Stacking Rings
STACKINGRINGS
This semester I would like you to create a set of stacking rings. This group can be as simple or complicated as you wish depending on your other self directed study. I hope you will use this time before class begins to think about the assignment and maybe get some materials ordered or a wax started.
You can use any combination of techniques and I would love to show you how to tube set faceted stones which you COULD include in this group. I will have some stones for you to choose from. The rings should be able to stand in their own and work in different combinations. The simplicity of Stacey Lanes "Rabbit in a Thicket' group has paired everything down to essentials. Barbara Heinrick on the other hand is exuberant in her use of stones, color and textures. Steve Dixon's work is very architectual using positive and negative cuts and geometric forms in combination with stones. Dana Melnick is just changing colors of the metal.
Let me know your thoughts and ideas.

The blog is a great idea Laurie. I find it so helpful to see some diverse examples of a project beforehand (as you've done with the stacking rings) especially with your commentary that highlights similarities and differences between the examples, and plenty of time to ponder what we might want to do ourselves. This is very useful. I find I really need time to think and toss around ideas.
If we decided to do wax casting for one or more of the rings, can we pick up some "slugs" to experiment with carving (are they stored somewhere in the studio that we can access)?

Hi all!
Was poking around the SNAG flickr site (which by the way is amazing!)...found this ring.
Since Lynne & Nancy were using twigs. thought this was an interesting rendition.
