finger protection?

I've been a bad blogger nothing for a while so I decided to post this. A friend and I were discussing old pieces and armour rings popped up, so I decided to just post this.

This is an armour ring I made in my 3rd year. This whole piece was thought to be really sinple but then I ended up having to shape it by hand and hammer. The middle section is higly polished and the rest is a circular sandpaper texture. Yes lord of the rings was my inspiration but also bleach (anime, for more infor see www.bleach7.com).

On B-tech news, I've finally started a piece, I'll show off soon. That piece has inspired 2 other similar pieces getting a bit more complicated with the next incarnation.
