What did I create today?

This semester at Salt Lake Community College, I wanted to take a jewelry class. I have always loved jewelry, and I can make some good stuff, but I wanted to get into metal working. That desire has been realized. Below is a pic of me soldering a bronze ring (wearing a J.Crew jacket, mind you):

 

My calic shows my excitement and intent focus. 

I love the way the copper ring looks with my wedding ring.. too bad it turns my finger green. Our teacher had us use copper for the 1st ring because I guess it's a good metal to learn on.. or something. I guess I need to do my reading.
