2007 Bead Journal Project: July card completed

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.

I love your piece! It reminds of something nautical and dreams of sailing blue water :o) Lillian; July 30, 2007 at 8:24 AM
Robin said...: There's such a beautiful flow to this card, Sharon! Up and down my eyes traveled, pausing now on the gold punch foil, pausing the next time on your lovely thread work, pausing on the rings, pausing on the blue chips, digesting the contrast of textures and shapes, noticing the fabrics and the horizontal beaded lines, enjoying the unifying pathway through them. Bravo!
