2007 Bead Journal Project: June laggard

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.

June laggard

Laggard that I am, I'm finally ready to move from June's page to July's page .....
However, if I rationalize it, I didn't start June's page until the middle of the month ... so I'm developing an internal time clock for my pages that seem to run from the middle of a month to the middle of the next month. Works well as it lets me get a flavor of a month in the first two weeks.

My June page is as finished as it will get for the moment. If you care to know the details, and see what I've done, check my blog.

That's my internal time clock too! I am starting July's page today and will most definately run into the following month, as did last months. I wanted to start it on a specific meaningful date that plays into the overall theme of my bead journal. So it all works out!

happy beading,

vivage said...: LOL, last month I did a really small piece because I ran out of June days. I like the internal clock idea better.
Or since I might add to my June page (as the inspiration hits me) I might have to say I am living in more than one time zone.; July 15, 2007 at 10:09 AM
KV said...: Not to worry, Judith -- I am working on both my June and July pages simultaneously. My June simply ran out of days before I could get started!

I really like the deep colors in this piece. It speaks to me of tradition. What a clever way to use those pins. I think it's beautiful.

Can't wait to see how your July is similar or different!
I am on the same clock as you!; July 21, 2007 at 9:26 AM
