My Gallifreyan inspired jewellery journey began a few years ago with paper pendants, painted to look like metal. Why? I thought that making them out of wire would be way too complicated. A few months ago, however, I happily proved myself wrong and made a wirework Gallifreyan pendant. But I wanted something else, something more. Instead of scaling the project up, I decided to scale it down.

The result of that decision is this project: wirework Gallifreyan rings. While they most definitely have their flaws, I absolutely love them. Working on this scale makes it really tricky to get all the elements of the translated text in, so I've had to make choices about what parts I was going to leave out.

The two rings I made say oblivion and solitude, though technically it's objivion and sojitube. While designing them I had to make a choice: leave out the dots needed for some of the letters, creating an amazing looking design, or force them into the design, which is pretty much impossible to do in a way that still looks good.

Before moving on to the project itself, a small announcement:

Last week, I started my own blog: trandoth. On there, I share a bit of what goes on behind the instructables, kind of a behind the scenes actually. The posts range from sketches, to works in progress, to fails, to anything basically! For this project, for example, I posted the results of the first attempt yesterday!
