Rings with patina

Hope everyone's been enjoying their beginning of the week. As I don't have a day job at the moment*, I tend to have a problem remembering which day is which, but I know today was Monday!

I've had a reasonably relaxed day today - I've been cleaning up a bit, and taken two orders to the post office. I've started wearing a ring I made sometime before my son was born, as I really want to test the quality of the patina before I even start thinking about selling similar kind of rings... (My fingers got a bit swollen towards the end of my pregnancy, so I couldn't go through with the testing at that point.) So from now on I'll be wearing this ring every day, and I'll be noting what it looks like after 1, 2 and 3 months. Hopefully it still looks just as good as right now! Not sure exactly how long a test period should be, but most people I know change the rings they're wearing every few days or weeks, so around 100 days of every-day testing should give me a good impression of the quality! :)


Tomorrow should be filled with job applications, new jewellery, baby laughter and hopefully a chance to test out a new recipe or two. I'll report back tomorrow with the results :)

*The company I worked for went bankrupt and I'm currently looking for something new...
