I thought I'd post an old video I made of a ring that I handmade. I hope to have time to make more videos. Here it is. It's an engagement ring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tumdkoyqtl0
A few updates
I just thought I'd update what's been going on lately. I found a little time to work on a video. Still a lot to do and still not finished after a few years. I need to find more time to work on it.
So far this past year I was able to make new business cards, a few new designs, receive honorable mention in the render category of the Gemvision design symposium 2012 and have lots of fun. Work is fun so I never know when I'm working or having fun. It's the same to me. :) This year I hope to work on the video, shot more photography and practice some more art. I'm getting into digital art a little more. I feel the key to it is drawing directly on screen. Without that it's not as much fun. I'm inspired to keep moving along. If I ever create anything worth while to share, I'll share.
This was my most popular ring for 2012.
I'll try and post more often. Until then, bye. :)
Let's try some marketing
I always try my best to do everything. There is a lot to do and I get behind (videos still coming like I've mentioned in the past). Well, I thought I need to start marketing my work now that I have quite a few bands done. I'm doing my research and I'm going to start experimenting with it. I hope that I can figure it out. Wish me luck. :)
The making of a fire
Lately I have been thinking a lot about wilderness survival. I have made a note that isn't quite finished on Facebook. I will be adding more photos and experiences, but for now I thought I'd share it. You may need to be a friend of a friend or my friend to see it, but if your interested in it and can't see it then let me know. I share how to start a fire with the bow drill. It's very fun and an exciting way to start a fire. Here is the link. Note on Making a fire Make sure you are logged into Facebook.
New bands with patterns
Recently I have been inspired to make more bands. This past year I have been working on a series of bands with patterns on them. I have broken them down into different categories on my site. Hopefully this will help when looking for certain rings. I first started out with my his and her series. This series is very unique in that it connects couples with matching bands. I plan to keep working on new rings and themes for this section of my site.
I also have added lots of textured bands that are very different. These textures should not wear off and they look very cool. I have gone crazy and have added many textures to the rings that come to my mind while designing. I hope you can enjoy them too.
I have a few more sections with other bands. They too are unique with patterns. There is no theme to these bands, but they are truly neat to see and wear. Check out my site to see my newest items.

Dana Arts Videos
Lately I've been wanting to do lots of videos. Videos about jewelry and just videos in general. I for some reason just love to make them so I will start out with a project to make a promo video. Stay tuned to see it. It may take me a month or so, but it will come.
The Art of Jewelry and CAD
The Art of Jewelry and CAD can be a combination that creates jewelry never able to be done by the average person like you and I. Now with new technology CAD jewelry can help you create things you never thought were imaginable. I love to create beautiful art. Using CAD has enabled me to push the limits of Jewelry Art in a way that I never imagined. Feel free to look around at my work. www.DanaArts.com
