The Passmentarie Band
The term passementerie refers to narrow trimmings applied as borders on clothing and furnishings. Trimmings could be functional – e.g., to strengthen buttonholes – but they were also ornamental. Braid on the outside of trousers, for example, made the legs appear longer. Fundamentally, however, passementerie emerged as a signifier of rank within the military and, therefore, a signifier of power. In fact, the military uniform was integral to the aesthetic formation of the masculine image. Stiff wool and crisply tailored uniforms reinforced an erect posture, while gold embroidery accentuated a broad chest and long, powerful legs.
The patterns on this wire reminds me exactly of this.
I am in the process of making a nature series of stackables and will post them as soon as they are ready.

I've Been In a Ring Mood Lately
I've been in a ring mood lately and today, I just went nuts and did nothing but rings. I'm quite pleased with the results, especially with the 14k gold rings. I think I will make more of these.. rings are very addictive to make..
