Bringin' back the green (CTR ring)

Well, I didn't intend to include arts and crafts when I started this blog, but I couldn't help myself ; D. 

In tribute to this:

I took this:

And created this! (Well, not the crayons. I just added the green tinting of the ring to the lower left ; )

Here's the "How to" that I used for reference.

I learned that cheap crayons don't work as well as Crayola crayons. When the wax of cheap crayons cools, it's sort of porous, instead of being smooth.

Since the face of my ring is smooth (well, other than the recessed area for the wax) instead of being raised like a normal CTR ring, I found it easier to just rub it clean with a paper towel once the wax had cooled; rather than keeping it warm so that I could detail it with the paper towel or q-tip.

I tried a darker green that's closer to the CTR ring green first, but it ended up being too dark so I re-did it with the lighter "yellow-green". It's a little light, so I may end up trying mixing colors next time if I get motivated enough to try again.

Yeah, sort of silly, but I've always wanted my CTR ring to be green, and yet at the same time preferred this ring design. Pretty cool, huh?
