In this video we are going to make a Polymer Clay “doughnut” ring with an open shank.  There are three videos in this project and we cover the following subjects: 1. Building a ring shank – how to size the shank, what metal to use, shaping the metal on a mandrel 2. Doming metal, creating a dimple and making a two part mold for the polymer clay doughnut.  Finishing the polymer clay 3. Making a washer and riveting the ring together.

Fancy Rivets – In this video I discuss how to create different types of rivet heads. One omission: I forgot to mention - to clean up round rivets after they get smashed by riveting the back side – use a cup bur, of appropriate size, to re-round the head.  This also works with copper or sterling balled wire that is less than perfect.  Please see my Riveting Basics video first, if you don’t know how to rivet.
