This final project is 3 rings that are a sun, moon and star. This process was very time consuming because it was 3 pieces that involve alot of sanding and soldering. Sadly, at the end of this project, my last piece completely fell apart and I didn't have time to put any of it back. I did enjoy making the Sun because it turned out the best and it wasn't super easy or hard. I learned that I need to really focus on etching more because alot of the time it turns out sloppy. I challenged myself with small etchings because I think it makes stuff look alot better. I think the Sun turned out well, but I thought the star and of course the destroyed moon would've made this project a success
The process of this ring was much more simple than the necklace. The sawing was more efficient because the copper metal was very soft compared to the metal of the necklace. There was less metal to sand and file which was nice and the soldering was the coolest step I've done so far. The challenge I encountered was the soldering of the small diamond onto the M. The flame tended to blow the piece off of its place and bringing it back to to center with the flame going was hard. I enjoyed working with fire because it was different and something I learned during this process was that working with metal has been handled more comfortably. I challenged myself with the petite pieces I used and I wish the middle piece would be more centered and not crooked like it is.
