Don't you love rubies? But, they are pretty pricey unless you opt for sparkling ruby yarn. This necklace combines ruby yarn and black filigree components.

Love your blog. I'm new to beading and up to this point have been getting inspiration by looking at others designs. But now I would like to start designing my own creations. So questions for you:
Do you get your design inspiration from color, things you see in nature or what?
And do you use a jewelry design software,sketch yourdedign ideas on paper or just sit a group of beads out and play around with them until you find a design you like? Thanks!
Your post title made me think of the Blue Man Group!! They were here locally a while back but I missed them. I think they'd be awesome to see. Anywho, I love the challenge beads you've shown!! I tried working up some Starry Night earrings out of the goodies I won, but failed miserably!! I'm going to have to give it another go after I get myself and everyone else in the house over whatever kind of ick my hubby has brought home to us!!
