Ring a Week (RAW) # 3

For my third ring for RAW (Ring a Week), I decided to create a mini altar for the Virgin of Guadalupe. I knew I will be getting in some trouble during the process but I wanted to do it.


My first idea was to make a hollow form and build the altar on top of the ring. My metal clay of option was FastFire Bronzclay and I did have some challenges during the making of the ring.


I managed to form the hollow structure of the ring, after having some difficulties in the process !!!!


Sculpting the mini Virgin was another challenge but I was surprised to see that it was not that difficult after all ! ;D

This is my ring before being fired in my kiln!
