Marc's Harry Potter Golden Snitch Engagement Ring Box

$250

The young guy is getting engaged to marry his girl friend who is a serious Harry Potterphile. He wants a golden snitch to present his engagement ring in. So I take two hardwood balls 3 inches across, hollow out the interior and install the universal type ring holder, and I sculpt the exterior, coat it in gesso, then red bole clay, then i water gild it with 23 carat gold leaf, C'est tout! Oh! and I concealed numerous neodynium magnets around the edges to draw it shut magnetically. Oh! And also, instead of splitting it straight across, I made the opening seam follow the contour of one of the sculpted lines, in order to conceal the seam quite well.

Working alone, I state working alone because nearly everything that I design and make are works of art made by me alone and signed by me for 20+ years, Ralph produces furnishings and signs rebelling against "mechanical mediocrity" refusing to work within the limitations imposed by machines and produce objets d'art which can only be accomplished with many hours/days/weeks/months of hand tooling.
To summarize, I am an artisan, not merely a furniture maker. Thank you for your interest in my fascination.
