2007 Bead Journal Project: Nov BJP

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 month's piece is very spare, but I wanted to use the leaves a friend gave me. Sandy in La Center

Robin said...: You made a lovely arrangement of the leaves! Also I've noticed that sparce/simple designs can give exactly the intended message. Please tell me, what are the leaves made of and how did you attach them?; November 17, 2007 at 10:01 AM
Timaree said...: It really doesn't look sparse. The beaded veins really make the leaves pop out from the background. I think it's a very nice page.; November 17, 2007 at 7:47 PM
KV said...: Well, I think it has a lot of texture in spite of your thinking it is minimal. So beautifully done and perfect for the season.

Sandy said...: The leaves in the piece are a silky probably polyester and were part of a trim that comes as yardage, so I still have plenty left. They are only attached by the beading. Sandy; November 18, 2007 at 1:37 PM

Todd and Marília Aitken said...: Are those swarovski pearls you used on those leaves or just regular pearls. 2 or 3 mm. Very nice works give a unique and very nice look.

I like minimalist anyway but the plain matte backing really sets off those lovely leaves. Where's the teal? I keep looking for a shiny teal beetle or something...
