2007 Bead Journal Project

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.

Seems like right now I am spending more time SPENDING to get ready than actually spending time DOING.
But that's ok too.

I must admit that checking out some of the work (I do restrain myself from looking at it all !!) has helped me.
You see, I am one of those folks that feels the need to cover the entire surface. Seeing what other people are working gives me the courage to leave some space unbeaded.
