THING-02: Clay Ring

Clay Ring Another clay project!  I spent about an hour yesterday going up and down every aisle at Hobby Lobby looking for some kind of ring gauge.  All I could find is a mandril for different jump rings. I finally came across a mortar & pestle that did the trick.  Sculpey has come out with different colors of clay for 99 cents!  I pounced on the red.  I could make a bunch of rings with it!  FOR 99 CENTS.  The first ring I made had no support.  I let it cool down after baking, but it still broke.   The next one I made had wire wrapped around the pestle before the clay.  It feels super sturdy.  I used red nail as glaze on the outside.
Comments appreciated.  =)
