Birthday Cake Ring; Project # 2 in Crochet Jewelry Challenge

As you may know, I have given myself a crochet jewelry challenge. I pinned some crochet jewelry on pinterest http://pinterest.com/gettinghooked/crochet-jewelry-i-want-to-make/  and have decided to try and crochet what I pinned, without a  pattern, to see what I can do.

O'my.... was this FUN to make!! Who doesn't love birthday cake! And to wear it on your hand... how cute is that!!
So this was my inspiration photo


I love this ring! I am not sure what yarn/thread it was crocheted in. I used # 10 thread. I am pretty happy with how mine turned out but.... I am my own critic. The big difference I see with mine is the lack of definition in the cake itself, mine is not as perfectly round with a defined top edge (hope that makes sense). I did use different colors, just what I had on hand.







As you can see it is really tiny! Not so easy to crochet, it took about 4 to 5 hours to make. Any time I crochet with thread it takes me a long time.  I had to sew the beads on one bead at a time;  the beads I used are so tiny that they would not fit on the thread I used to crochet with. It is rewarding though, I am wearing my ring right now and love it :)))

Be sure to leave me a note and let me know what you think :)
