About the 2007 Bead Journal Project
We are 241 women and 1 man who are dedicated and committed to creating 12 bead journal pages, one per month, for a year, starting June 1, 2007. We live in 13 different countries, including 37 states in the USA. Our primary goal during this process, is to stretch our creative and technical limits. The BJP is all about visual journaling using any media and techniques, as long as it includes beading. We are free to structure our bead journal pages any way we want, as long as all 12 are the same size. Through this blog, we intend to support each other in process, techniques and design. Until September 1, 2007, we will not post pictures of our finished journal pages. Many of us have our own blogs or websites (links below) where we may post pictures sooner.

This is just for us. This is our place and our time to let it all hang out, to let ourselves be carried away in the moment, to let go of judgments and interpretation and planning, to go deeper than words!

That's just amazing. I love the colors and mix of techniques.
Gorgeous! All those wonderful textures - terrific stuff, and very inspiring.
I love it, its like standing on the beach looking down into the white sand at all the treasure that settle into the sand. It is beautiful.
Sunni
Oh, how beautiful the textures are. I love how you used the beads to bring out the beauty of the shells.
Dorris
I love your piece. It's as though someone just pulled up some treasure from the bottom of the sea.
Beautiful!
It's so beautiful Sharon! I have wanted to leave comments on some of your posts before, but your blog doesn't seem to want to allow it. I'm glad I can tell you here how much I admire your beautiful embroidery :-)
Wow, fantastic page. I am in awe.
Hi Sharon,
An incredible piece! I love the theme and texture! Did you embroider or crochet it along with the beads? Of course I'm partial to anything about the sea ;o)
Thanks for sharing, Lillian in Washington, USA
It begs to be touched. I love the combination of beading and embroidery and it's a real triumph of a piece.
Congratulations!
It's a beautiful piece Sharon, I love it.
ciao sharin, ho commentato sul tuo blog, ma mi complimento di nuovo con te.
la tua cartolina è bellissima.
cioa matilda
Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. Lillian it is just embroidery and beading. You can do a lot of interesting stuff with textured stitches. It's one of the samples for the sumptuous surfaces workshop (I won't plug it here too much as details are on my blog) Thanks again everyone for the comments.
This is beautiful! I love the shell slices you used and the mix of embroidery stitched and beading.
