This is a ring that I've seen, contemplated, and ultimately passed up at many a craft fair. Now I'm nostalgic for the days of even thinking about dropping thirty bones on one ring.
This project of mine is an effort to get myself to create more; hopefully with an overarching structure and deadline, my lazy butt will get whipped into shape. My goal is to draw a thing a day for a year - something I want, but am not buying. Realistic things, things that I've been able to buy for myself in the past, but stuff that I'm not springing for now. So no jets or ponies or castles. It's a response to our trying economic times (pleasant euphemism for everyone being broke), and not being able to have everything we want. It's an experiment in an alternate consumerism - is it possible to derive satisfaction only from drawing and spending time with a concept of a thing, rather than possessing the thing itself? Here's hoping to yes, 'cause you won't be catching me with any of this stuff any time soon.
