Though I know now the BDSM related use of the word Roissy, my initial discovery was when I happened upon a neat design for a ring; Here Whilst searching to see if my triskel design had circulated on the net. The discovery of the Roissy ring gave rise to a project for college, that of making jewellery out of recovered wrought iron forged into rings and other objects. I get old anchor chain from the sunken wrecks in the estuary near me and use the iron for my jewellery project. Also from the Roissy ring, I have a project on the go to etch the iron and inlay gold, something which has lead onto learning about koftgari techniques and damascene, as is still done in Toledo in Spain, it from the ancient art of inlaying precious metals into swords and armour. So, whether my college likes it or not, several projects have risen from my interest in BDSM, a BDSM related ring, the Roissy ring will be my inspiration, as it seems we must declare it for, and during the course. Edited to add, I made a simple band type iron ring to test out my 'micro forging' ideas, I have worn it now for some months, and it does not stain the finger with iron oxide, nor does the outer material exposed to the elements rust.
