2007 Bead Journal Project: Bringing up the Rear

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.

Bringing up the rear is Beverly from No Easy Beads. I too got a late start with my June BJP. Everything moves slow in the south and I am no exception. I couldn't keep myself from looking at everyone's finished pages. Each morning with my coffee I would find myself rushing to the bead journal blog to read and visit everyone's enteries. Such wonderful pieces of Bead Art! I finished my June page this afternoon. I used special beads I got from my sister and friends. My objective with this project is to use special beads I picked up in my travels and beady treasures that were gifts. I am not sure yet where July will take me. I have another deadline to met before I can get started on it. Thanks Robin for putting the BJP together. I am honored to be a part of this project
