A special order ring

I thought you would be interested in a special order ring I designed for an orchid loving friend.  The hardest part of this ring was the making of the tiny orchid that was put on to the ring. I ended up rolling flat the Art Clay about 3 cards thick and cutting out the basic shape of the petals and while it was still wet I formed the petals into a nice shape. After it was dry I put the "nose" onto the front with 2 card thick clay cut out. I used a tooth pick rolled onto the ends of the petals to make them flare. Here are some photos of the ring construction:
