Anglo-Saxon rings

A few months ago, a friend was tagged in a photo of a ring that they had made. With all this wire, I decided that I needed to try to make one. I fail.

I didn't cut the wire long enough. It's supposed to wrap around the band on each side a couple times. Oops.

I've trimmed the wire so it wouldn't snag, but in my playing around I scratched part of the spiral, so it isn't as smooth as it should be. Here is a link to a tutorial for the rings from a friend of mine. http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/sca/rings/ring-tutorial.html My 5 year old asked for a ring, so I made her a small one:

She likes it and has misplaced it at least twice already. I was going to try another ring for me but we have sickness in our family and spent the evening taking care of daughters instead. I will try another soon.
