2007 Bead Journal Project: I'm so far behind I think I'm first!

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.

Finally, with a lot of help from my sister Beverly, I've been able to post my June page to my blog. I'm having a lot of fun exploring the world of bead embroidery. I love using my favorite special treasure beads. I knew there was a reason I held on to them. But seriously, I have most of July done. Lots of ideas for the rest of the journal too. After finishing the first page, I was glad I chose a 3 x 5 size and not something bigger.
