Okay, for the 2.5 people who look at this blog every couple of months, I have a question for you...is this ring too big? I made a rough example after casting some resin in a balloon. I'd been doing some plaster in balloons last year and wondered if this would work as well with resin. I like the smooth round Mod like shapes and the colour...but...is it ridiculously outsized?
I always seem to make big things. Even when Im holding back i look at the final result and wonder where I'm going to find the ten foot tall person suitable to wear the thing. I can't seem to help myself! Perhaps it's my sculptural background. I'm itching to make great big monoliths when I'm only making rings and bangles. I made this one to size (for me) and kept trying to make material off to make it slimmer and smaller and less Holy Shit Did You See That Ring! It's comfortable enough to wear, but I wonder, am I teetering at that place where it all just becomes ridiculous dress ups for grown ups stuff?? I'm considering just putting it on some leather and wearing it as a pendant instead. Anyway, I'm open to feedback!

OOoo i love it and would buy a red on in two seconds, i really enjoy big rings but i also have big hands so they tend not to look HUGE on me :)
Cool! I wore it today at school and the kids were like "whoah! big ring miss!" So that's one FOR the creation of the biggest rings on earth, what do the other 1.5 of you think?
I think it's fine, I've seen MASSIVE glass rings by zulasurfing on Etsy and whilst it wouldn't fit me as I can almost wear a ring as a bracelet my hands are so tiny, it would suit those with hands less freakishly small :)
I'm just googling zulasurfing right now to check it out! It's funny, I love Dinosaur Designs stuff, which is massssiiive, but for some reason this ring makes me freak for it's sheer size! And I'd love to have freakishly small hands, rather than my freakishly large ones (seriously, blotting out the sun big)!
