Wowww that’s cool. I like how you’re using a different part of your brain too. Share more progress photos as you go along I wanna see ☺️ Morse code is so smart too

So I still have 2 more days!!!

Day 1
Carve jewelry out of wax

Day2
Finish carving and prepare mold

Day 3
Cast and do stone setting 

It is VERY HARD lolololol I had no experience with any of this, like not even doing carving out of linoleum or anything. Thinking creatively this way is hard for me too. I have never applied my brain to a craft like this before 

The instructor Jason pictured in the middle is a true craftsman and he makes forming these perfect bevels with a wax file look effortless 

But it’s fun and I am excited to see how it turns out 

I did it with a friend so we carved and gabbed. Def bring a buddy!

I created a VERY SIMPLE ring with a

design where the dot will be a gemstone 

That is “K” in Morse code
