charsmith: Hi Ruby, here I am again in 2009 admiring your albums of absolutely gorgeous jewelry and other things. You are still so amazing to me and I would love to meet you, but know it's impossible, unless you venture down to NC. Keep up the good work and I will keep admiring it and telling the world just how wonderful you are.
Thanks for sharing.

Carol-Anne Hitchcock: Ruby - thank you for inspiring me. I am so glad to see i am not the only person doing spiral rope - a "beader" friend (and tutor) says it's very easy (I think it depends on what you do with it!) Carol (UK)

Jennie: Ruby,
You have an eye for beauty. I am just getting into wire wrapping and chain mail. In a couple of weekends I will be taking a silver fusing class (FIRE! woo-hoo!). I noticed that you ride an HD and that you were in the St Paul area for the winter carnival. Do you live in the twin cities area? I am expecting my first child in November, but still plan on going to Sturgis this year. I, too, ride a sporty. I think I'll make jewelry while the boys and girls are out riding on hot days. Your website has given me so much inspiration! Thanks for your hard work.

wscharen: Ruby,
You are a very talented woman! I just started beading and when I get down I come to your site to view all your beautiful creations. My current projects are beaded ornament covers. I figure once I get a little better at that I will move onto larger pieces. Keep posting the pics and keep up the good work!

I would love to have the pattern for the wolf's eyes...I owned a brown wolf named Sunka and my indian name means wolf. I tried to go through picture trail to print it but that flubbed up. I'm also glad to see you in leathers. Do you ride a motorcycle too? I ride a Honda GW 1500 trike. If you were closer I would invite you to our all girl motorcycle group called Women in the Wind. They have chapters all over so you maybe able to connect to one near you. I'm just learning to bead and know the brick stitch. Havent mastered the loom yet. I cant get the thing strung.

Avanette Aldebol: Ruby all your jewelry is absolutely awesome. I feel so blessed to be able to take part and use your generous patterns to learn from and wear them. There is nothing I do not like and wish I could do alot more of what you offer. But everyday is a new one in my beadweaving world and your patterns have the greatest instructions for a newbie to self teach myself to do many types of beadweaving pieces. Thank you so much, I always look forward to seeing your newest pieces. Sincerely, Avanette

Maura: Hello Ruby,
I've always loved your beautiful, elegant and stunning
creations.
I was wondering if I could teach some of your patterns
to the class, while I give/donate to you $5 - $10 per pattern per student? I would also give you the credit for all the designs that I use. I"m working at a LBS, and my boss wants me to teach seed beading classes. So far, I've taught 1 student from a kit at the store.
I wanted to ask your permission first before I say yes to
my boss. I'm not as creative as you, when it comes to
seed beading, but I'm finding that my collection of seed
beads are growing and I want to learn to use them.
Thank you so much Ruby! I've been enjoying your book
and CD very much.
Hugs and love to you,
Maura

Georgi or travelingbead: I think it is wonderful that someone out there is willing to share what they know. Eventually if we all kept beading we would learn what other's have learned and I don't know what the big deal is with sharing info. So thank you for putting faith back in a passionate beader who was taught is was nice to share!! ;}

Jamie: Ruby, I have long been an admirer of your work. I have your book (you traded it to me a few years ago for a book I had you wanted). I love the silver seed beads you use in your work. Are you able to share where you purchase them? If so, is the finish on them durable. I have a teenage daughter who adores silver and hates gold and I am having a hard time finding silver seed beads with a durable finish.
October 30, 2006 9:13PM
karen: Hi Ruby,last year I went to a bead show in Desmoines,a lady in the "Amys Creative Beads" in Iowa Falls booth recommended your book.Boy! did that get me started, plus my sweetie buying me 43 different colors of seed beads.Now that I have more than I can wear could you recommened away to start selling my pretty shinys?

Maybe you can give us a hint how to correct this? Sorry for posting to your guestbook- didn't know how else to get info to view your work. I'm told it is the best eye candy ever.

Karen Holden: You obviously have talent and are
very creative. I have too many hobbies, and I am trying to eliminate reluctantly most of my beading - limiting it to earrings and French beaded flowers for the most part. Therefore, I have beads I can never use, and if you could and wanted them for free, let me know. If you have an address to which they can be mailed, I would gladly do so, instead of having to store 'em not used!
March 30, 2006 8:11AM

I haven't beaded in about 10 years, and decided to haul my beads out of storage. I used to sell my creations, and thinking now that I own a computer..to look on the net and see whats new.
I happened upon your pages. and want to say..Woman your designs are awesome. Your a very talented and creative artist..may I suggest you do up your own web page.
By profession I am an astrologer and want to bead again to pass those nights when nothing's good on TV..you are an inspiration ..

Destiny: Hi Ruby,
Thanks so much for the new cube daisy tutorial - I was wondering how you got the cube centered with three seeds on each side. You've been so generous with the tutorials. Your VeeNeck necklace and Bronze woven drop necklace are just gorgeous too! You've been making the most beautiful woven jewelry. Is the bronze drop hollow or did you bead around a center bead for support? Just lovely.

Sandy Smith: Dear Ruby,
Your beaded jewelry is spectacular, I bead also. My mom is my number 1 fan, I have sold some to at craft shows. I have been on your pic trail before and love it everytime it is the best eye candy, I need inspiration to keep going in my jewelry making small business and your stuff sure does that for me.
Where do you buy all your beads and findings? I am from Canada and it is hard to find a variety here, we do have one bead store, but I want more.
Anyways great job as usual Ruby, keep it up -Sandy

normlc: Ruby, I just love all your stuff. We have a lot in common. I ride my on MC and belong to the Backroad Ramblers MC. I have a honda Shadow now but when I grow up :~) I hope to buy a Harley.
I had a dog not long ago that looked just like your Hershey. Lost him in a divorce and I sure miss him. (More than the "man").
I have been beading angels for my MC friends and I have started doing loom and off loom projects. I just love all this beady stuff.
Thanks for the inspiration your site provides.

Destiny: Hi Ruby,
I always love your work -- I've been admiring it for ages -- but now I gotta know, are those woven beadcaps on either side of the center pearl on your "chocolate" necklace? And if so, do you think you might be putting up a tutorial on them on your website? Pretty please? I've been wanting to know how to make woven beadcaps or spacers for a long time. I have "Art & Elegance of Beadweaving" with Leslie Frazier's article on woven beads and beadcaps, but I wasn't crazy about how mine turned out when I tried her technique. Yours seem both simpler and more versatile.
Keep up the beautiful work,
Destiny ;-)

I like your tutorials they are easy to follow. I am a young person with Parkinson's was dx'ed at 43 I am 48 now. Beading has been my life saver, it relaxes me, limbers up my fingers, and after I make something I have a sence of accomplishment. So thankyou for the wonderful patterns and for all the eye candy on your pictuer site.

I like your works so much. It shows a wonderful taste and experience. You are an artist.
I would apprecciate it very much to get a password to view and print your barefoot sandals. I like the idea very much and want to make a gift for my daughters. I would also appreciate it very much if you could send me instructions for both kinds to try them both.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Sandy Carlson: Beading is addictive. I have been beading for almost 3 years now and have devoted one corner of my living room into a work center with a craft table and boxes and boxes of beads and thread. Of course I have been an avid handicrafter for years and have taught my daughter how to sew and knit. Now she does the sewing and cross-stitch and I am going crazy over beading. Your work is lovely and your holiday ornaments have given me inspiration to tackle a glass oval ornament that I have been trying to design. Hopefully, if I can figure out how to use my digital camera (maybe after Xmas is over) I can send you a picture. I want everyone out there to keep beading and be inspired as I was by these lovely photos.
December 15, 2003 4:46PM

Donna Fuller: Wonderful Book Ruby~ You just blew the Lid off all "How to Bead Books" and even went beyond. I am so thrilled with this Book. If I never buy another Bead Book that would be just fine by me, you covered so many things I really wanted to know/learn. This is one of the best books on the market to date!
Your work here is just so increadable. What a wonderful talent you have. I am so impressed, and I've seen a "few" sites in my time. Yours speaks volumes about this wonderful talent/gift you have for original design and perfection with beading.
I wish you nothing but the very best with you new Book and CD. Job more than "well done". Perfection!

I'll have to send some pictures of the three things I've done so far. Anyway, I love your sight, I just have one request. Can you be more elabrit on the instructions for Ceciles wheel? I finaly got something close, but I'm still not sure. If I had been beading for years I'm sure the pattern would have been just fine. Please help me!!Thank you,

I am doing a wolf for the back of a jeans jacket and wonder how I could put it on the jacket and be able to take it off when I get the jacket dry cleaned, its faux fur inside. Have you run into this problem? E-mail me directly (pott@tscnet.com) or I hang around the Delphi bead forum all the time. I would really love to get in contact with you. You do awsome beadwork. Happy beadin' Jazzybead

Dee: Everything that I had the priviledge to look at all the beautiful and colorful jewelry. I dream of doing what you doing and starting up my own home- base business someday. My hold up is that I don't have job now and I can't afford to order a large amount of beads. It cost so much to go and purchase them
a bead store.

Lara Sendich: I enjoyed looking at your work. It was very familiar to my gerdans. These are ukrainian embroidery patterns which are done in beads. Is it possible to get some patterns of the intricate ones?
I would enjoy hearing from you.

Pat Stump: Hi:
My name is Pat and I truly love your work. I also am a beginner and I would just love to be able to copy some of your patterns. Also what do I need to do in order to get your pass word to get into the copy part. I read that you are going to have a book out soon, was wondering if it is going to out in the store or ordering it from your site and what would the name of the book be.
Thank you
Pat

I have scanned the web for tutorials, but am still in need of some assistance and/or guidance from professionals or just addicted beaders. Please help me. Thank you, Joy Jago

Lois: Just had to let you know I have made your zigzag choker. My Granddaughter chose your design, which I have made smaller, ie began with 16 instead of 20, and scaled down accordingly. Must say it looks good. Many thanks and cheers from this Lancashire Lass (UK)

ira: Hi! 'Am from the Philippines, just want you to know it's great and wonderful to have people such as you who takes the much effort and time to share special talents. I love your beadworks, this is my first time to ever visit a site of bead ideas and got quite lucky to land on yours. I wish I could be able to get more ideas from you. In our country beading I believe could be costly, I just doubt it if I could get the materials here. I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

I'm Colombian and I like very much your page It's beautiful. Here in Colombia those kinds of work aren't common. I'm a student but I like beading when I have time. Thanks for your suggestions.

Queenie: I feel like I died and went to heaven after finding your site. Lady, you are not only talented beyond description, but are a gold hearted lady to share all this information. I am ready for the next step and that is actual beading, but without a loom. You have been a Godsend to me. I will visit you often-you are now one of my favorites.

karen Corbett: I am looking for instructions that would help me make a bracelet like S3BR or Mybr12. Can I get them from you or would you direct me to a place where I can get them. Thank you for your help.

LOUISE B.: I LOVE your site. Easy to scroll and love your work. You are a busy girl, for sure. I am trying to make my granddaughter a pair of barefoot sandals. can't figure out how to make them adjustable so she can keep wearing them as she grows. (she is only 5). On some sites, the crafters say they are adjustable. I don't see how to do this. Are yours? Thanks.

As well as good designs, I really like how you present your pieces. You seem to be as much into your computer as you are into beads! I'll have to come back and take another look or I'll be here all night. See you at about.com. Cherry

Diana: Nice stuff. I'm pretty much just starting out, but I've had such great response to my pieces that I've had to go "in search of" new designs. Thanks for your tutorials, they're awesome! What one eye doesn't see ~ the other ones do.

Lynette Brown: I really enjoyed your loomwork - it was a nice way to spend a Sunday morning (5am!!)wandering through your photo albumns. I wonder did you teach yourself the loomwork and wirework or did you go to tutorials. I'm self taught from the age of 8yrs (now I'm plus 50 on that) and its only now SOME people are emerging to hold lessons - we're way behind you babe. Congrats on your work.

Kelly: All I can say is WOW The things you make are amazing and so beautiful. And there is so much of it!! I am only new to jewelry making but I hope that one day I can learn to make things as beautiful as you. The main problem I have is though that we don't have a decent shop for beads so I can't get a hold of any really amazing beads so at the moment am stuck to your normal seed beads and glass beads! But I'm getting there.
Continue with the great work, and thanks for putting up the tutorials, I'm printing a few off to try!
March 3, 2002 10:59PM
Vicky: I love your black and turquoise African net necklace, is there a tutorial for it anywhere? I have just printed off your netted necklace tutorial and went to your picture trail to check out some of your other ones, they are great!!
