For anyone who has yet to master the intricacies (not really – it’s very simple!) of the magic ring, I’ve just put together a new photo tutorial to demonstrate it for right- or left- handers.

You can start all your amis this way and it will give you a much nicer finish.
I’ve linked to it in our sidebar. Hope this will be useful to some of you








thanks june, especially for showing the lefty version as well! for some reason the magic ring tends to stump me sometimes.

I can’t wait to try this.
Great tutorial
