Corruption

I should stop listening to audiobooks of Stephen King novels when I work. I end up making stuff like this.

I've been working on this ring on and off for around a year. I began working on it at the end of last summer, but school kicked in and I was forced to put it in my box of things. I took it up at the beginning of last semester, only to have to put it down again. And during the summer I was busy with so many other projects that this one was put on the back burner.

This was supposed to be a simple prong set ring with trees on the side, but I find that when you work on things over a long period of time you begin to change what exactly you want to do with them.

My aesthetic is normally VERY clean cut and precise, however I take an almost perverse glee in making things that look corrupted and old.

I've also been reading Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series, and I think that's why I wanted make a ring that had "Moved On."

I have plans for making a ring in a similar manner with a ruby titled: "Dischordia" after the arc words in the later books.
