Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Lori, thanks for posting these new photos of your wonderful ring designs! Much easier now to see the patterns!

OneOfAKindJewels4u says:Lynn, These were SO SIMPLE to make. I downloaded the pattern frm jewelryolessons.com. I cant remember how much it was but most of their patterns are around $4.00, there are more expensive ones,but they look WAY TOO advanced for me to even try. They do have some free ones too though. Glad you can see the pics better.
