With This Ring....

.... I thee wed. Since my engagement is unusual we more than likely will not be able to find a wedding band to go with it (well, at least one that I liked). So we started looking around online. We both want something unique and interesting and I think we found it! There is a couple on ETSY that do their own metalwork and they specialize in fingerprint rings. Check them out at http://www.etsy.com/people/fabuluster. Here is what we decided to order...

There is a crazy process that involves imprinting your finger four times... each time you have to time everything right, boil water and make sure it is the proper temperature, etc, etc. Apparently Stephen has GREAT fingerprints... mine are horrid! This is what all of our hardwork earned us.

So far I've done two different sets of prints (eight prints in all). My prints are not making good enough impressions and ridge lines for transfer to the jewelry. And I will have to do another set when the kit comes in the mail. I wish my fingerprints weren't so faint!
