I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks for the nice compliment about Daniel.

I'm grateful to all of the artists who thought of it.Kim Cavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749328210288624099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984589010445976392.post-7395478503471928342009-01-27T08:31:00.000-05:002009-01-27T08:31:00.000-05:00Kim,Thanks so much for the honor of including me i...Kim,<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the honor of including me in your blog entry! The rings have been so much fun...I just wish I could spent all of my time exploring the many possible variations!<BR/><BR/>When I began making the rings, I was rummaging around my studio for forms...the metal tubes I had didn't come in enough large sizes...I decided there HAD to be something else. I had a flash of memory of my husbands tool box.....sockets! In all sizes! Perfect! <BR/><BR/>Give 'em a try..they're absolutely perfect for the job. Fortunately, my husband isn't such a tool guy...he won't miss them, at least for a while anyway..lol..<BR/><BR/>Thanks again, and so, so glad to hear you're feeling better. And, I hope you keep that gorgeous son of yours LOCKED UP! He must have the girls going nuts over him :) I've enjoyed seeing his pictures at flickr..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984589010445976392.post-25997829631556683662009-01-27T04:24:00.000-05:002009-01-27T04:24:00.000-05:00So good to see you back!

Wishing you good health for forever!<BR/><BR/>Love this entry - and the tip for using sockets for rings is just inspired - my poor husband will be tearing his hair out as I raid his tool box yet again in the name of Polymer Clay!!!Pipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08578340839618548501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984589010445976392.post-747030863440058162009-01-26T20:14:00.000-05:002009-01-26T20:14:00.000-05:00Susan, good to hear from you!

I'd love to have my old energy level back so I'm just waiting patiently for that. That purple flower is definitely one of my favorites.<BR/><BR/>The socket sets are such a wonderful idea. I hope to give it a try myself soon.

I got on the ring bandwagon after Jana posted some and told me to use the sockets! Isn't that funny how people come up with the same ideas? <BR/>I hope this means you're feeling up to blogging again...I've missed your posts.<BR/>Susan<BR/>P.S. I did make some rings with my "Kim Cavender flower cane". I always think of you when I use the purple fimo flower!! :)Susan Turneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864635774677436375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984589010445976392.post-3946853073292373252009-01-26T16:49:00.000-05:002009-01-26T16:49:00.000-05:00Ellen, Thank you so much!
