Pretty Rings

I have been drooling over this ring for quite a while now - it has a real feather of a parrot enclosed inside and is sooo beautiful...

It is actually quite amazing from how many different materials you can make rings, like these creative and resourceful people:

From an old spoon, by Lana Red.

From wire and leather straps, by The Perfect Pear.

From wire and beads, by Bettina Johnson, found here on Oh The Lovely Things.

Wire Bow Ring  from I Spy DIY.

Randomness from around the web

Nymphea picture from here.

When the sun is hiding behind the clouds, crochet one instead: with this sun doily applique pattern from Caracol.

And when it starts raining: make the best of it and bring some cheer inside with a pretty  Rainy Day Mobile from minieco.

But if it does finally get sunny and hot again (as ist is supposed to, hello it's August!!), make some  Flavored Lemonades with different fruits and fresh herbs - like Emma and Elsie from A Beautiful Mess.

Love this sailboat kit in a suitcase from shak-shuka. Ahoy!
