Description
Venus Flytraps, or Dionaea muscipulaSterling silver sheet and wire, of various thicknesses, a garnet, and a lot of hammering.
Some versimilitude has been sacrificied in favour of making construction easier, though this isn't really noticeable to anyone unless they're familiar with the plants themselves.

I have a silver ring with a round garnet in it that matches this perfectly. Very impressive, very cool. I like it lots!

I'd try to keep one, but I think I'm the death of plants.

Thanks!
Unfotunatley, I think even if this thing weren't sized to fit the world's fattest finger, it wouldn't be very functional.

This is so great! I especially enjoy the extreme attention to detail on the fly-traps. (They look deadly!) The insect makes a wonderful accent and I think the garnet adds just the right amount of color. And also, way to take unfavorabe assignment and turn it into something completely unique.

Thanks! The traps themselves are actually quite sharp. (I still have a few small scars on my hands)Also, I think I reserve a special kind of dislike for h-rings.

Ouch

I find them quite ugly, to be frank. (Well, I'm sure they're not all bad, but the pattern I had to work from was just godawful.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Understandable. If it's any consolation, I've never seen one that I've liked as much as this one

Now, if only I could make one that was actually wearable...

It's wearble! ...Kinda....well,ok, only if you weren't planning on moving your hand all day....^^

DOOD! So cool. Honestly. You KNOW I love yur shiznat. And for the record.. you didn't HAVE to do something so crazy... (but look who's talking...)

Every single thing you make is just really cool. Kudos.

this is just...beautiful. I love the detail in the fly traps themselves, and the added beauty of the little bug with the jewel...I can't see anything that I don't like about this. If I was given this as a gift it would take pride of place on my shelf

thanks!
(the underside of the ring plate's pretty messy. I feel I should mention that somewhere.)

p-sha, I'm sure it doesn't detract from the overal beauty of the piece
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, hopefully not, cause I hide that part when I display it.

Oh my gosh, that's insane....and a complete mad dash away from the functional and ordinary( I consider this a good thing, by the way).
It's a ring, right?
