Hitting the creative wall

I got an idea for a ring.  It is different from the one with the nuts.  I thought of a ring with wire, making many round of wire.  Putting flattered wire around the one forming the ring.  I do have a precise idea in my mind.  My problem, this time have a twist.  As usual, there is the translation from mind to reality that I have to do.  The added problem, this time, is technical.  I try to figure how to do this ring.  It is not too complicated.  the idea is simple, in a sense.  I just wonder how to do it and reach the image I have in my head.

There must be a simple solution.  I have to find it.  I don't have anyone to answer my question on how to do it.  I have a few ideas on how to do it but I am not sure these are the right ones.  I am not an professional jewelry maker.  I am more an amateur, even feeling being an debutant in this area.  I know many techniques but not everything.  There is also the knowledge and the practice.  I know many things but I have limited practice.  So, it is an dissavantage when I am in this situation.

It is the first time since I took my jewelry classes so long ago.  At the time, I could ask a teacher about a problem.  Now, I don't have that ressource.  I always felt that having a teacher to show how it is done and answer question was always a good thing.  I feel it is more true than ever now.  Tutorials are a good things but sometimes it isn't enough.  Well, it is true for many area and for jewelry making.

Now, I will have to try and learn the hard way.
