Braille Napkin Rings

These delicate napkin rings are made of clay and each hold representation of a different word - with the purpose of stirring up conversation, spurring up interaction and creating laughter at your next dinner party! Since these are made to order, you can choose the words you would like on your napkin rings. I thought these were pretty clever and a great shot at making a memorable dinner conversation.

On the other side of the rings is the hand-written word.

I think you could have a lot of fun with these!

So lately, I have been fairly productive. I finished my high priority goals, etc., started coming up with new production ideas for my designs, and feel like am beginning to spiral upward into an all new creative level. I have been drawing again and even started taking photos - for the sake of actually trying to take better photos with good composition and different angles. Let's get one straight - I am certainly not a photographer! However, a little practice never hurt anybody! I am planning to get into printmaking this winter...
So let's talk about the drawings... I've done {a} few so far this year. I think I was stuck drudging through some creative quick sand, but I'm out now. 

My Illustrative Style: 
1. A LOT of detail.

2. Fine Lines
3. Playful 
4. All different subject

    matters of the imagination.

5. Pen and Ink

I guess a list cannot support a vision. So pictures will have to do. Here is a small taste of my latest. Remember: I am just getting back into it! Better, more completed drawings to follow! 

My plan: 
Products for the home with my designs... Fun and Modern.  Just be patient, as prototypes of these items will be posted soon! In the meantime, enjoy pictures I post of my work and progressions I make in drawings and designs!
P.S. "Ruth" is my middle name!
