Another dinosaur ring. For the first time, I'm quite pleased with the painting on this one.

recycled toy jewellery: dinosaur ring

dinosaur ring and note

I just finished making this for my friend's birthday. I don't think it's very practical, but it was fun to make and paint. Dayglo orange with nu-rave multicolored tiger stripes.

This is how it started life - as a small plastic heterodontosaurus from the Brick Lane car boot sale:

the way of the samurai is in death

You can see more photos of it if you're interested here on Flickr.

I might try to make more and sell them on Etsy, but they are dreadfully time consuming and fiddly.
