A Ring a Day - Twenty-six

Far too often, great beading ideas get pushed aside and forgotten. Even when they’re very exciting, sometimes other projects just have to be done first. And them more must-do tasks come along, and fun ideas get swept away.

Today I was able to make good on my promise to create a decent ring with a black, white and red color palette. I suppose it was easy to do because it gave me an opportunity to use some of my favorite accent beads - transparent ruby pinch bicones.

Ring # 26 - Black Forest Cherry

I have a very small collection of assorted pinch beads, and I am very protective of them. They can’t just go into any old project. It has to be special, because I just adore these little beads so much. The hardest to use have been the ruby colored beads, but in a black and white ring, I knew they would stand out.

I added 5 bicones to a simple herringbone ring, like a little row of cherries. With white seed beads as a background, they do look good enough to eat.
