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.

not done in time for christmas, but perhaps it'll be my first finished quilt for 2012! Blogged here.
Males with full ruby throats are so rare at the English Garden, Winnipeg's main hummingbird accumulation spot during the out migration, that I had never seen one in 5 migrations until now. Males migrate much sooner than females and traditionally by-pass the Garden.
This fellow was being harassed repeatedly by females, which made him much harder to photograph.
This is Ruby Rose..... She belongs to a lovely lady that live's at the units were i do... Her name is Helen.... Ruby Rose was an abused cat for several years... So when Helen lost her own cat before Ruby, she went to the local shelter and there she was..... Ruby is still a little scarred around stranger's but is slowly coming around.... Ruby is about 11yrs old, but she is so playful when you do get near her....

This is for hereios who are visiting Ruby Tuesdays today. Not very original but I've been out this evening at a meeting at school, and got home to find both my girls still awake (good old Jack was fast asleep). So it was a quick snap while I had chance!
Excuse the crappy editing too. No time :-(

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.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird. I believe this is a juvie male. He never got to the angle where I could see his couple of red neck spots. With getting our new puppy, I have not had time to be with the hummers like I want to be. My time is all spent with the new guy, but I managed to get out today and get some shots (had my husband babysit the puppy). These guys will probably be leaving in about 3 weeks.
