Anticlastic ring with overlay FINISHED!

Here it is! The ring I posted a couple of days ago is finally finished! I had a few struggles, but all in all I'm very happy with it. I've learned a lot during the process of this ring, and would do some things different next time around and some things I would do the same. This is not the best image, but it will have to do. I've enjoyed making this ring, and have some new ideas that came up that I'm going to have to explore in the very near future!

Cheers!-I'm ready for a Guinness!

Excellant work!
