Dragon Eye Ring Tutorial
for dragon myst
I decided I can't wait for Dh anymore--poor thing is just too busy.
So here is my tut using photos I took .Some of them are fuzzy, my apologies! I couldn't take pics of the parts where I needed both hands, but I will explain them as best as I can!
thanks for your patience
Dragon Eye Tutorial:
1. making the ring. Make a thick stringer and melt off an amount that looks to be the correct amount for the size you want. This one is about 2 inches using Antique Beauty twistie. You can strike it to a nice color at this time(easier)
2. punty it up. My punty is clear 4mm
3. heat it til the ends wilt down forming a deep "C"
4. Set this in the kiln until you are ready to use it

5. Cut a piece of murrini. I used a small piece, like the one on the right. The murrini on the left is one cut from a full sized rod. Thicker pieces will give you a larger eye and neat reactions. Smaller ones will leave some gaps in case you want to use a backing color behind it.
6. Heat a small gather on the end of a rod(here it is Unobtanium) and smash it flat with a marver
7. Add a dot of white, heat and then add the murrini.

great tute and very cool ring, nagi, I especially like the last one, it looks so fleshy and real! I keep looking at it waiting for it to blink ... or does a dragon nictitate?
I need to get my hands on some of that unobtanium ... next time a bulk order goes through from my colour pimp.

I used to make glass rings, but found they have a liability.
If you make them wear them with care, and I would not suggest
you make them to sell because of the liability. I was wearing
one of my glass rings at the grocery store and when I reached out
for the door handle on the refridgerator case I hit the chrome handle
just right with the finger the ring was on and the ring broke leaving
a small cut bleeding on the inside of my finger. Good thing
you can't sue yourself. lol. I won't make them anymore.
I hate to be a downer, your rings are really cool and fun,
but glass is not a good material for rings, IMHO. I do make
rings with a beautiful glass cab, but the ring itself is metal.
