Almost finished...

I have been working diligently on finishing up my project for the 2008-09 round and am just about there!

I have posted photos on my blog for anyone that is interested in seeing it.

Thanks so much for all the support!

BJP 2008 Finished!

OK, I know I have been very quite. My husband is now retired and we are still trying to figure out how life is going to work! Makes things a little crazy. But I have finished my pieces! You can see the completed set at my blog.

I work well with specific deadlines where I have no choice but to have something completed so I decided to enter my pieces into the Fine Art of Fiber exhibition at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. If you are in the Chicago area, the show is very well worth the trip. You can then see my pieces in person!

Now on to figuring out my format for the next BJP. I'm so excited! I know how I want to do my journaling but I need to work out the logistics a bit before we start up. Especially as I will be in Australia for the first three months of the year & then in Hong Kong for a few months. I'm planning on making covers for journals, one for each month. And then writing all the different thoughts that come to mind for the month into the journal.

I love this group. I may not always be verbal but I do try to read the blogs & look at other people's pieces. Everyone should be very proud of their work. It is all beautiful!

BJP friends in Minnesota!

Hi Everyone!

I just posted on my blog, here, about beading with three current BJP members in St. Paul, MN last week. We had a blast! There's some sweet eye candy for you to see!


Registration is progressing nicely! Good to have some of you back again!!!

I finished on time...

...but I forgot to post about it until now!

This was a great year. I did very simple pieces each month, and it was pure pleasure. My plan for next year is more elaborate, but that's for a later discussion lol!!

My entire collection from the year can be seen at this link.

"Just a Mirage"

Summer may be coming to a rapid close but it's still June according to my progress in the 2008/2009 Bead Journal Project. Here is my 4 1/2 inch square page. I used a vintage cactus sequin applique, seed beads and sequins. The shininess may make it hard to look at this page, but then everything is a mirage in June in Tucson, Arizona.
