rubber cell ring
sterling silver–airline tubing–ball bearing—NFS
i purchased some airline tubing awhile ago from the aquatic store, “denizens of the deep”. it’s a really neat store which i never would have gone in except for the fact that someone had accidentally locked my keys in my car. while i was waiting for rescue i went into every store in the strip mall. the blue color of the tubing intrigued me so i bought some and brought it back to my studio. it’s been sitting around for a couple of months now. the top of the ring is just little pieces of the tubing cut up and smashed together inside the setting. the band is a larger piece of the blue tubing that connects to two silver pieces of tubing coming off of the back. i filled the ring part with ball bearing to keep it rigid so the tubing doesn’t collapse. overall, it has a cellular feel to it….at least to me, but i also own a book called “biology for dummies”…which is a great read if you need to fall asleep fast. sorry sar.
