The kelpie's name is Dora and she is very well, Thanks Chris. Getting a little older and more interested in sleeping that she used to be, but still loves the beach.
Thanks Chris - This ring is one of the harder ones to torch fire, as the opaque enamels are very sensitive to 'flame tarnish' But I find that I can shield the the opaques by varying the angle of my flame and using a tolerant transparent on the counter is

I cannot say there is any debate or controversy about torching where I am, as I seem to be the only practitioner. It was when I discovered GoG a few years ago, that I noticed others (like yourself) were torching. I hand hold my pieces whilst firing, which permits close observation and variations of angle. You could call it a 'freestyle' or 'bareback' technique - on the edge of disaster, like, heh.

... moreThanks Trish- this ring is the last word on a theme, for me. It probably draws a line under ideas that have occupied me for years.
You make the best rings John!!
