Trying to paint a background after something is beaded is really kind of ridiculous! <BR/>2) And making sure beads are color-fast.... <BR/>3) And making sure I don't stick things down crooked... <BR/>4) a larger size (the present size is too tiny for everything I have to say)<BR/>5) completely finishing each page as I am done with it. This waiting and doing it all at the end is a very daunting task to be facing now.<BR/>6) opening up the brain every month and letting the beads fall where they may instead of trying to create a picture in my brain ahead of time. Trying to plan too much ahead defeats the meaning of the journal aspect, to me.pam Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305349617038992064noreply@blogger.com
