small eyes, enormous things

kissing ring, sterling silver, sand cast and fabricated; kimberly nogueira 2011

my first sand casting project--i recreated a vintage gumball charm kissing ring. the casting part was fun, albeit with some hits and misses, and overall a great learning experience. the bands are fabricated.  i made several more that my grandmother would not have found in the gumball machine when she was a child, but my world would be happier if they could be.
