23/3/11 Further work on the ring TADA365 No:129
I have planned to add colour to some of my wooden rings. I have put masking tape around the sides of the ring so that I can paint one of the surfaces white. I like the idea of adding just one colour to one surface of the ring - it is just a slight expansion for me in using wood as a material in jewellery-making. I decided on white because I thought that it would look neutral next to the wood. I think that it adds a certain balance to the ring. For now, I used simple emulsion paint but in future, I think that I shall have to prime the wood and use a special paint for wood.
