This week’s theme in The Wire Artisans Guild’s weekly challenge was ‘Ruby Treasure’. At first I was stomped and didn’t have a clue what to make. But shifting my thoughts from ‘ruby’ to ‘treasure’ released the flow and I started to think about what I treasure most in the world. So I poured all my love for creating jewellery into this piece, thinking about my children, how much I treasure them and what a blessing they are. (Even though the drive me nuts sometimes…:)
This locket will hold whatever you treasure most. One side is completely made in sterling silver wire and with the letter ‘T’ for Treasure on it. The other side is covered to the brim in tiny faceted rondelles of ruby, over 100 of them, closely bound to create a dome shape.
On the inside, the silver wire side is lined in magenta coloured satin-silk. I carefully singed the fabric to prevent fraying and it is not glued or sown on to the locket. It stays in plays by hooking on to tiny ends of wire underneath it. (I’ve shaken the locket quite hard to see if the lining would fall out, bit it stayed firmly in place.) This side also holds the coiled wire, that you can place a photo or hang a special treasure from.
It closes with a bow of thin magenta coloured ribbon of satin-silk. This is ribbon also singed, ever so slightly, to prevent fraying of the ends.
The locket hangs from a simple yet gorgeous sterling silver chain, just over 83 cm (32”) long that closes with my handmade hook style clasp.
The Ruby Theater is a small movie theater in Chelan, Washington. Built in 1913, it was named after Ruby Potter, the daughter of its manager, Frank Potter. The original owners were Herbert R. Kingman and Morrison M. Kingman. Original seating capacity was 225 on the main level and 125 in the balcony. The theater was equipped as a cinema and as a vaudeville house. With the exception of 1972-1974, the Ruby has been showing movies for over ninety years, and is one of the oldest movie theaters in Washington.

Ruby at the Grand Canyon in 2013. My wife insisted she wear her "Princess" dress for the outing. Her Majesty surveying the majestic scenery. Or just trying to figure out how to get to the lizard on the rock. :)
Admittedly, I was surprised to see this many Ruby-throats still hanging around. The temperatures have been pushing the 80s during the day, but cooling overnight in the Memphis area.
We had our Ruby Wedding anniversary on the 25th of Jan this year. Our friends gave us a Ruby Anniversary Rose. The poor thing got hammered in the winds we had earlier in the year but has given us one very small rose that smells beautiful.
A female Ruby Throated Hummingbird at my back yard feeder . This appears to be a female but there is also a very camera shy male.
This tiny bird flitted around me for a good ten minutes. It was hunting for insects that were wintering under the holly leaves. It spent much energy hover-flying under the leaves.
An interesting species fact: The female Kinglet will lay a large clutch of eggs with the weight of the eggs equal to the weight of the bird.
Went looking for a kinglet with the ruby crown today. In the process I took some of my best ever kinglet shots.

My sweet daughter in law took this shot. Ruby is wearing a hat and bib that I bought in the hospital gift shop. She is still in the hospital and may go home tomorrow. This was the closest we could get to a photo shoot!!! Thank you for your kind well wishes and comments!
Please see Jen's BLOG for pics of the brothers!
Ruby Beach, WA, is my favorite place for taking this kind of shot. This one is noisy and not especially well-composed. I took it as I was leaving. I'm going back this spring.
Ruby Beach is the northernmost of the southern beaches in the coastal section of Olympic National Park in the U.S. state of Washington. It is located on Highway 101, in Jefferson County, 27 miles (43 km) south of the town of Forks.
A little ruby x rails fanart just for you~
Note: "Ruby-chan" concept is something I discovered in ancient Ruby mascot discussions. Fox Small is a creation of the great Why the Lucky Stiff.

The Ruby
115 Studs in length
After the defeat of the Wicked Witch of the West, the Good Witch of the North helped Dorothy Gale return home to Kansas. The Land of Oz was left, by the Wizard, in the capable hands of the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Lion. Although they lead the people of Oz with grace and wisdom, the lands were so large that even they could not keep everything in check. Oz began to fall to ruin...
The Winkies, once slaves to the Wicked Witch’s whims, attempted to rebuild their society, but were hampered by the prejudice they faced from other citizens of Oz. The Munchkins could not relate to them given their history with the Wicked Witch of the East; the citizens of the Emerald City looked down on them as gullible puppets; even the Gillikins of the North, under the guidance of Glinda, held on to their resentment. The Tin Man tried to teach his people compassion, but their hearts could not be changed.
The three leaders decided that Dorothy was needed in Oz once more. Through her leadership, they would work to restore Oz to not only what it once was, but what it could truly be. The Scarecrow devised a way to contact her, and she agreed to return to them. Once back in the Emerald City, she took on the title of General, and began working on a plan to unite the people of Oz. Dorothy first went to the Munchkins, who welcomed her back as the hero she once was. The Munchkin people, she had heard, had moved on from their agricultural roots and had been delving into engineering and technologies. She requested of them a vehicle capable to her task.
The Munchkins constructed the MK-78, which Dorothy nicknamed The Ruby. This craft would allow General Gale and her team to travel across the Land of Oz, finding refugee Winkies and teaching tolerance to the other citizens. Two removable containers (one communication, one a mobile garage) could remain in an area while the ship continued searching for those in need. If difficulty occurs, the ship is equipped with a small fighter dubbed the ”Flying Monkey” to protect both it and those they are trying to help, while the bridge-module also serves as a shuttle. Three Munchkin engineers travel with the ship to keep it operational.
Through her work, Dorothy has been able to bring the Winkies together with the Quadlings, the Rlys and the Hilanders who helped shelter them and guide them on the path to a functional society. Dorothy remains at the helm of The Ruby, bringing the people of Oz together, one brick at a time.
Me and my Ruby Cavalier King Charles spaniel out for the day. Trying out Flickr and searching for cameras.

We have had our son & family to stay for a couple of nights and I'm afraid as soon as Ruby saw Alice (18 mths) & Robin (5 yrs) she was out the door and did not reappear till either they were out or had gone to bed. I think because she found them too noisy!!
This is Ruby coming in this evening as they have gone home today.
I do not think she went far, probably curled up in a neighbours quieter garden!

From the moment I saw these birds in the trees around the cottage we visit, a few years ago, I have been trying to figure out how to get decent photographs. This summer I settled on identifying perches used periodically, and then getting in range of one of the perches. This meant two things: being on the roof, and being subject to shifting light and backgrounds. On the other hand, some of their grooming poses were amazing. It was a lot of fun hanging out with them.
