wow, both, the ring and this, look kind of creepy (especially this one), but very, very interesting!
do i get it right, you crocheted the form from wire and added another, stronger layer of metal over it by electroforming?
we are able to use that technique at my school, too and i've been ogling it for a while. now even more so after seeing your works; i'll really have to try it myself sometime

Thanks! You pretty much got it. I crocheted them with thin wire and then let the electroplater build up copper over the form randomly. Electroforming can be frustrating, especially when you first start, but once you get a feel for it, it becomes a pretty fun tool. If have any questions about it, just let me know. Thanks again!
