Day 22: Need cheap bling? Beaded ring!
I love jewelry, but I am so NOT a ring person. I wear them, but I always wear the same ones. My sister Liz is the exact opposite. She collects beautiful and unusual rings, often as mementos of her travels, and she frequently changes the ones she wears. Her hands were made for rings.
The last time I ordered supplies, I ordered, on a whim, some ring findings. I liked these because they looked like they’d accommodate peyote stitch.
So tonight I finally experimented with one. Here’s the result. (A hand model I am not. I have hideous hands, with my crooked fingers, big lumpy knuckles, and gnawed nails. Hmmmm. “Could your feelings about your hands be the reason you’re not a ring person?” asks the psychotherapist. “Well, like, DUH!” says I.)
The ring’s a lot cooler IRL than in the photos.
