Title: Ring Toppers a la Sabine! I'm showing you mine now show me yours!!!!
Post by: GlassOcean on April 14, 2011, 06:42:23 PM
Hiya Dolls,

I have been rather obsessed with making ring toppers for my interchangeable ring I got from Sabine at the FO.  OMG I am loving making them!

So, here goes, I am going to start a show and tell for anyone who has made any of their own toppers for the rings bought from Sabine. 

This is a bit of a hog but it just goes to show that any level of experience is just dandy!!!

I made cabs and ring tops last night and the shapes were better and the orange one came out a lovely domed shape. Thanks ladies. I so love making those. I had a tragedy though, I dropped a nut, its prob gone forever as there's so many holey bits in the concrete through there and bits to run under. Am down to 3 now and with 2 mandrels that's me in withdrawal.... nearly!
I'll post more pics if that's ok, I'm liking showing my progress hope I'm not posting too many pics, and going on a bit am I, so excited making these. Can you post too many pics and go on too much in here , dont think so eh?  :-\ ::)

This is my first attempt, Its quite easy once you get cracking, I have made a few and have learnt along the way to allow the glass to droop slightly or you'll end up with a high ring!!!

I have put another on my blog.

OK made some more toppers at the weekend.

After seeing Emma at the weekend and having a quick guide to making Cat/Dog/Cow heads I had a go at these

(not great photos as I took them with my phone this morning.

(http://www.jewellerybyjenny.co.uk/pictures/head-toppers.jpg)

Also some more ordinary ones.

(http://www.jewellerybyjenny.co.uk/pictures/toppers.jpg)

Also a couple of failures  :(

The big one had cracked after being in the bubbles for only a short while, so I thought it was the size.  The smaller one was fine in the bubbles and then when I got it out of the kiln this morning it had cracked  >:(  Not sure why, it is the same size as some of the others only thing is these are encased.

(http://www.jewellerybyjenny.co.uk/pictures/toppers2.jpg)

My kiln is not able to garage (only a small mini kiln and no bead door so I always have to batch anneal).

My ring tops (I wear the cracked one - it doesn't show up quite so much in normal light!) Bottom right two that were stuck on the mandrels are dead by hammer, probably because they were thinner, but I can make them again.

Here's my latest two story one, (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/20864307/398164270.jpg)
It has one of the latest gizmos that Sabine is selling, going through the BHB hole with a small blue ring top screwed onto the top of the gizmo. Unfortunatelt there seems to be a small crack on the left hand side of the base BHB but it's hardly visible to the naked eye. Only saw it when I took the photo.

A silver glass ring top, Psyche on the outside and one of the TAG glasses in the centre. Sorry I can't remember the TAG name but the rod is a transparent blue. Is it Dalai Llama anyone?
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/20864307/398185629.jpg)
and a two story ring top I like because of the contrasting colours and simplicity.
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/20864307/398185630.jpg)
The yellow is a BHB from one of Bev's presses put onto one of Sabine's gizmos and the centre brown is overheated Psyche formed into a ball shaped ring top.
