This guy is  finally complete and on his owner's finger.
           I made a master mold of the ring so I can produce duplicates by injecting molten wax
into the mold. I can then change any part of the design , such as removing the bold initials
from this personalised version and recarving the shank in a textured form or with other initials if requested.
If anyone wants to make a design sugestion for the shank , please send  it to me and perhaps I'll put one out there for
a client or anyone else. As you must know the image of the skull has been a prominent figure in the arts for
a very long time and in many cultural contexts.  My father had me make a ring with a secret fraternity pin set
in it .The motif was a skull and crossed bones backed by a serpent. He is gone but there is a number of secret societies that feature the skull.
I was asked to make my first skull ring for a mororcycle club in 1969.
My infatuation with the human form paid off after many hours in life drawing classes and anatomy studies
MICHAELANGELO is my purest source of inspiration.
