Ring a Day Book!
"Ring a Day" is a beautiful book, with its bold red cover--full of images from cover to cover. With its field guide type of feel, this book is brilliantly edited by Marthe Le Van and demonstrates the project's breadth and endless variety of rings. Some are novel, some are funny, some beautiful, some challenge practical notions of what is a ring. But I have learned that by challenging myself, my art and craft grow exponentially. For the reader--it is a book of inspiration, imagination, and a visual snap shot of the creative process. For me, it is eye candy. Enjoy and be inspired!

The Society of North American Goldsmiths Conference
Lorena Angulo |
The SNAG conference is coming up next week. The conference is titled "FLUX," and is in Seattle, WA, May 26 through 29, 2011. I wish I could go, but I have something very important to do. My daughter is graduating from Pre-K that same day that the conference opens. I hope everyone that goes can tell me a little bit about the experience and take lots of pictures please. I will hopefully post some of your pictures here next week from all of you! Let me know where you have posted the pictures from SNAG and the Ring a Day show at Punch so that I can post them here!
Here are more of my favorite rings in the Ring a Day show at Punch Gallery at the SNAG conference. The RAD show is a "must see".

A big Thank you to Nina Dinoff
Nina Dinoff proposed the Ring a Day project to her metalsmithing friends late in 2009 and started it January 2010. She started the Ring a Day group on Flickr as the place to post our rings. She described the Ring a Day project as "an exercise in creative exploration. The rules are simple: create ring every day for the entire year of 2010 out of anything, no matter where you are."
Thank you Nina for starting the Ring a Day project.
Here are some of my favorite rings of hers at Ring a Day show at Punch Gallery in Seattle. The show is part of the Society of North American Goldsmiths conference in Seattle May 26-29th.
