2007 Bead Journal Project: BJP Images now on-line

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.

Hi BJPers,

I've unfortunately been out of the BJP loop for several months. But I am still busily beading away. I haven't created a blog, but I do have a new Web site: www.lisabinkley.com that has images of my June - Sept. BJP pages. You can see them in the "small art quilts & embroideries" gallery of my site. They're the last two images on the first page and the two on the second page. They're all based on the same cottonwood leaf form mounted on a 9" x 11" fabric panel. They're in chronological order on the site. My pages for Oct. - Feb. (and ideas for March -May) are all underway, and I'll post images of those as soon as they're finished.

It's fun to be getting back into reading posts and looking at all the amazing work being created!
