vintage scrimshaw ring

I've added a scrimshaw ring to the shop today and the scrimshaw (most likely to be bone) has the most darling little face of a beagle/ a retriever. I think that it is quite unique because most of the scrimshaws I've seen are engraved with boats.

Recently- things that make me happy..

Recently I've been busy and never happier! I enrolled myself in a short metalsmithing class and enjoyed every single lesson i attended :) There's still two more lessons before i finish but urgh, I hope it doesn't ends.

I still had reservations about going for a class at first because i am quite shy and I am really bad at starting a conversation. But i'm really GLAD that i forced myself to go for the classes- metal smithing makes me happy! My classmates are pretty independent and much older than me so everyone don't talk much other than a few short conversations regarding our work or hi & byes- they are actually nice people, but i just dont know what to say to them so erm... I'll just keep to myself. *I prefer to blog it out :)

Here's a ring that I made during the class,

 

I've always feel that I can't accomplish much with my hands but this time, i'm pretty proud of myself when i make this cat ring (pats myself on the back). It came out the way i wanted but it's still not finished yet,( I have not yet push the sides of the bezel in)

 

I'm so hyped up for my last two classes! We're learning to make a prong setting and for the final project, we're going to design a piece with the materials left from the previous classes- can't wait.
