I am delighted to present „Rose garden” ring as my third tutorial. I recommend it to those who have already worked with metal clay technique or ambitious beginners. "Rose garden" ring is a great proposal for those who like glamorous, flowery jewellery. Being quite advanced this tutorial doesn't cover basics of working with metal clay (for example checking clay consistency, maintaining clay moisture, drying etc.). This information may be found in "Frozen leaves" tutorial and "Fingerprint of Love", which I highly recommend for beginners. Instructions are very detailed with a lot of good quality photos.
