This is the piece I stitched in September-not my favorite, but I wanted to try fusing floral print motifs to the background and beading them. When I do the book of pieces, it will probably in a spring item. Sandy in La Center.

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!

It's lovely, sandy....have you added it to the flickr site?
Very pretty. Did you have any trouble getting the needle through the fusing? I haven't tried that yet and I was curious.
Arline
I like it quite a lot, simple and sweet... although not so wonderful as your August piece. Maybe it's because the background is plain? It's really great that you are using the BJP to experiment! I'm interested to hear your response to Arline's question.
I guess we have to accept that we won't like all of our BJP pieces equally well. Of mine, it's July that doesn't quite cut the mustard.
These are very sweet flowers Sandy - You are going to have quite the garden when you're done ~ smile
With 12 pages, we are going to like some better than others. Sometimes I like one part more than the rest of the page. These flowers are spring looking. Remind me of the simple apple blossom or cherry blossom everyone likes so much.
