Oh man... after the snow melts, we'll be headed there pronto, DB! I'll give you a heads up when we're headed your way for sure!

Thanks all. The beauty of these is that they are both adjustable, as much as one wants to make them. Randy did his ring the next day and made several improvements that I'm gonna incorporate in future rings. Collaboration is a wonderful thing.

Very nice work you 2. Tey look really nice.
Was this a variation of the macintosh style like in the tutorial? Abigail's been wanting to wrap a ring and can't seem to find a style she likes. I'll show her this tomorrow.

Hi Nate, no it is not. This was something I figured out after seeing a ring on another site. I changed it a little to simplify.

I did try the McIntosh tutorial on here a couple of weeks ago, and it is quite different.

Let me know if she's interested and I'll explain it for you and her.

I do not remember where I saw it. I think I combined aspects of a couple of designs and added my own.

LOL, it was while we were on the road (literally) back in Montana last summer, I think. I scrapped the first one I tried and I was taking pics of the second one while I was doing it in the car and sending the pics to Lori (Sitnwrap) and bouncing ideas off her.

Sorry, I couldn't be more help or remember any more specifics.

Well... it might take some time for me to do one. I've been without a camera since the beginning of November. It's being repaired and is supposed to be shipped out soon. I'll have to wait til we get settled at our next destination to receive the camera and will try to work on a good tutorial for y'all. Jo

Is there a such thing as a masculine looking wire ring? I thought that both of those look feminine.
