Dot' collage

I really don't have the time to finish up the quilted wall hanging to finally complete my 2007-2008 BJP. I don't have much time for quilting plus it is HOT in Ohio & i just don't have the energy to get all that fabric out & sit to sew. Therefore, my husband made up a collage image with all 12 of my leaves on a page to share. I think they look nice & am considering doing post cards with them when I teach or do shows. Enjoy them on my blog.

Finished....Finally

I finished my April and May pages in July. A little behind, but it took me a while to reconcile myself to actually "finishing" and "being finished". Here is a little preview of May...

You can find April and the rest of May on my blog if I have piqued your interest.

Latest Update for the Penultimate Behinder

Well, I’ve been pretty busy lately so haven’t had time to get caught up completely. But I have worked on it some, and have an update posted here: http://beadg1rl.deviantart.com/art/Elemental-Fire-WIP-92303598 Just click on the picture to enlarge it. This is the second panel of 4 for the entire BJP. The first one can be seen here: http://beadg1rl.deviantart.com/art/Elemental-Air-83547456

I also have progress photos on my blog http://beadingbutterfly.blogspot.com if you don’t have a DA account and want to leave comments. :)

Last page completed

I have finished my April and May pages for the 2007 BJP. All my other pages are on the BJP blog and on Flickr.

It's been a truly wonderful year for me.

Thanks to all for the inspiration, the support, the friendship, thanks for sharing stories and awesome beadwork ! I have registered for BJP 2008, and will follow up on your blogs whether you are in the 2008 adventure or not.

Take care,

Hugs,

Hélène

May page complete!

I am shaking myself all over as I try to realize that I've completed the pages for the first year of this project! Am signed up for next year and have my theme but not the size of the finished pages. Before I think about that I need to devise a permanent home for these pages. I was planning on a scroll - really set on the idea - but now I see that the pages won't roll very easily. To force them into a scroll shape and then unroll it for show & tell, then reroll - over and over - is to risk damage and bending portions of the page. So I'm back to square one for the moment but committed to having this organized and complete by the time the 2008 cycle begins in September.

Meanwhile you can see my completed page right here. What a year it's been!

2nd Quarter Update on "Fire"

Well, I've gotten a little more done on the 2nd quarter. Not sure if I'll be able to get it all done over the summer, but here's hoping! See progress on my blog here.

Last page

I so can not believe my May page is finished. It took me only 4 days, it flew by. It reminds me of spring and happiness. You can read about it and see it here. I also have a picture of all of my 12 pages together here.

I still have cards and journals to make for my November to May pages so I have plenty to keep me busy until we start again in Sept, Angie

February Page Done!

I know I am more behind than ever but I finally have something to share. February is done! You can see it here. I hope you enjoy the story.

Now on to March! I think it will be easier and quicker. We'll see.

The web page is looking so great. It's fun to look at everyone's pages all at once.

The Chaste Moon for March

The "Chaste Moon" has a secret! It was made not just for the BJP, but also as a challenge piece for another forum. The theme was "hidden in plain sight", so I worked some Braille letters into the piece with slightly larger beads. You can see a picture of the page, plus a picture that shows the "secret message" here: LINK

Up to date at last . . .

The Crystal Cave and The Lady of Shallott are finally up on my blog. These pages are for March and April and can be seen at http://artfulmuse.blogspot.com/

Now all I have to do is find time to get that May page done . . .

Two more pages are up . . .

January and February pages and blog entries are up now at http://artfulmuse.blogspot.com/

Yay -- it's working today!

Don't know if I should press my luck in trying to post more pages today but my November and December pages are up and the photos do open for larger views at http://artfulmuse.blogspot.com/


Kathy V in NM

Believe it or not . . .

September and October pages are available for viewing here at http://artfulmuse.blogspot.com/ -- camera woes have been solved for the most part but Blogger doesn't want my October page to open larger. Think I will wait until tomorrow to post some more pages . . .

April Bead Journal Project

Wow, this month took something out of me even though I didn't anticipate it in the beginning. I started out wanting to dedicate this month to my curmudgeon Scottie, FionaRoseBlossom, who just turned into a senior dog on the 1st. But this leaf took on a whole new meaning to be as I finished the last stitches. It made me circle from my very beginnings on the internet to now. You can see this & read my posting here. I've already started to get materials together for my last entry. I'm kinda sad that this year is almost over. Now to work on the wall hanging so I can put all my leaves, and my year progression in one place.

My BJP pieces won a prize!!

April's Grass Moon

I submitted half of my pages (the ones that were done at the time!) to the 2007 Fire Mountain Gems beading contest, and they won a Bronze in the home decor category! LINK

March Bead Journal Project

I caught up over the weekend and finished my March Bead Journal page. I really like this one (unlike December which I am liking less and less every day. It might be a do-over) and the colours of it.

So, should I make December a "do over"?????
