Cat ring competition!

So my dad and I love to make jewelry and we both like cats. So we thought we would put them both together and make it a competition to see who would make the best cat ring! The technique we used was a first for me. Wax casting is a pretty long process but so fun and rewarding! In the end I won (but I was going to win no matter what).
These are the final rings! My dad's is on the left and mine is on the right. His is much more realistic where mine is cute!
While I was carving the cat I realized my nails were matching a lot of things in the lab!

Done! 
Hank's seal of approval! 
Doing this was so fun! I learned new things and love my ring so much! It messed up my nails but it was so worth it!
