Well, September is zipping along nicely but I am still doing August. However, I do know what I am doing for September now after tossing around a few ideas, so at least that is something.
As you can see I am only about ½ way done on this piece. All the symbols relate in some way to the fact I was 50 in August. They will be explained once I have finished.

"Ways of Seeing" by Robin Atkins
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.

This is just for us. This is our place and our time to let it all hang out, to let ourselves be carried away in the moment, to let go of judgments and interpretation and planning, to go deeper than words!
