July finished :-)

Hello fellow beaders

I've put on-line my July page here.

After some days of holidays, I'm going back to my August page with great pleasure.

Again a big Thank you, Robin, for this idea.

Hugs

July Finished

This is the third time I have tried to post this evening, Blogger keeps rejecting me when I try to post.

I have finished my July page and posted pictures to my blog if you care to have a peek.

We will be taking a few day vacation and I will be contemplating my August page while we travel. I have the background fabric basted to the timtex and the plan will be to finish on time this month. I still haven't decided how to finish the pages, but there will be long cold dark winter evenings in front of the wood stove to complete the backs, and method of display.

Catchin' Up

Hi Beady Buddies....
I finished my July page several days ago. I didn't finish it in July, but I was close. (I hope finishing the back doesn't count....I still need to finish the back of my June page) :-)

Anyway my completed July page is here

I've got August in my head....just need to put it into beads.

TTFN

This one was tough....

I finally completed July after being unable to bead for a few weeks. I am so glad it is done and I can move onto August. I am really hoping this one is a bit easier and gentler. When I started this I never thought that much about how much of a journal each page would truly be, but it is amazing the thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc. it brings up as I work my way through the month. Has anyone else been having this experience?

If you want to check out my last page or extended ramblings lol, you can find it here. July Page.

My Idea for next Hair Barrette Page.

I have written some things about the next hair barrette that I want to do for my BJP. If you are curious check it out here.

Happy beading.

July page

I've finally posted my July page in case anyone wants to take a peek ;^)

Finished? Suggestions welcome.

Hi everyone. I've fallen a little behind on the project the last few weeks (Life keeps interfering with beading time, imagine!) However, today I this far on my third page, "Dance"

If anyone has suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them. I'm treating this project, at times, as a kind of extended doodling session - and I'm beading in the same way that I might start cartooning or drawing on a pad of paper. In this case, I don't know if the doodles should be more connected somehow.

Hope you're all doing splendidly - beading and enjoying summer.

July Page Progress

Today I updated my blog: www.jeansbeads.blogspot.com
I am done with my summer show and getting ready for my
fall show in Alabama.

ancora pagina di luglio

finalmente ho risolto, così sembra, i problemi di connessione e quindi posso inserire qualcosa della pagina di luglio.
in effetti il lavoro è più avanti, ma non riesco ad avere belle foto.
chi volesse vedere come sta venendo può cliccare qui.
ringrazio per gli incoraggiamenti ricevuti.
ora procedo più spedita e allegra.
ciao matilda

Winds of Change

I started my August page, I am two days into it.
It is so much freer than my last pages.
Plus it is easier to do.
Go figure!

I can hardly believe there are some people already done.
What will they do the rest of the month?

Morro Memories

Finished my August page this morning by putting the foam on the wave. Of course I still have to finish the edges,but I have a month to do that before it is displayed at our County Fair. I used beads from our Central California Bead Society Challenge to do this page. Morro Bay is one of my favorite places on the Central Coast. Check out my blog for a peek at the real Morro and my representation. http://sharedstuffbyarline.blogspot.com/

I have a doozy planned for September. It's called " I-5". It will be a representation of the Central San Joaquin Valley. Can't wait to get started on it.

Progress Report

Nope, I haven't finished July yet, no excuse except entire family being home for a visit and not enough hours in the day. I have been working on my page and am within a few (2) hours of being finished. I do have my August page bouncing around in my head, but that will need to wait until we return from vacation. I do have a beady post on my blog if you would be interested and I would like to have comments if you have an opinion. Thanks, SueUn

August Page Complete

I got into a zone yesterday and worked for about 10 hours straight and finished up this morning. Now to tackle the mountain of laundry that has developed since I started this journal project. Take a peek if you'd like.

CC's PAU!

OK! I'm done with July & finally got a chance to post here. Have a peek if you want to!
I'm ready for some bigger beads/rocks, & a smaller piece this month! Whew!
With aloha,
CC

July's Finish

I have finished July's page for those looking.
Check it out here.

There are some awesome pages out there.
Kudos to all of you.

bisogno di incoraggiamento

ecco qua, già ad un'impasse.
due settimane di imprevisti e di noiosi contrattempi hanno fermato entusiasmo e lavoro...
passerò qualche tempo ad osservare i vostri lavori, ho bisogno di un po' di incoraggiamento,
matilda.

FINISHED JULY PAGE AND BEGINNINGS OF AUGUST

If you want to look go here to see the beginnings of my August page and the finishing up of August. It is at the end of picture heavy post and if you don't want to see it, don't go there!

Of course there is chocolate wisdom and and tea with chocolate.

Finished with July!

Hi everyone! I sooooo much enjoy peeking at all of your wonderful pages!!!! Those of you who aren't peeking have some mighty wonderful work to see when you're ready!

If you are like me (can't wait), you can see my finished July piece here. I still have not decided what I'll do with the 12 when they're finished; but I have no doubt that something will develop in time.

I'm so very happy that a few of you made comments on my blog about the Quilt Journal Project way back in April. Without your enthusiasm, I never would have started the BJP. It's so much fun... but even more, it's motivating me to jump off the high board into the deep end of art! Yay!

August start

I started my Aug piece a week ago. I've got the center piece of it done, mostly. It's a stylized lotus flower, it looks a bit like a columbine because it's got 3 main petals but the center is lotus-like and I've added 3 other smaller petals.

The water is what I am working on now...but don't really like it. I'm sticking with it, even tho I think the currents shown are too turbulent.

But maybe that turbulence is exactly what is when it comes to the meaning of the piece. More later.

Some More July Progress...

There are lots of reasons I haven't gotten farther along, but I'm grateful for the beadwork which really keeps my sanity in my out-of-control life! You can see it here.

July's Journal And August's Start

I have updated my blogs and now have my journal for July done and my background for August ready to go if you would like to see them. (BJP Blog)

Today is also the official start to my transformation and details are in my main blog.

Thanks for all of the love and support and keep up all of the good work. I have been so inspired by what I have seen so far. I can't wait to see the pieces from those waiting for September to share, it should be amazing. -Angie

August Page - and stretching the color palette

My August page is underway - This is a real stretch for me because this color palette is so not me - so not me. In fact, despite my plan to only use beads that I already had for this project, I had to buy some orange beads because there were none in the house - not one. I'm kinda' getting used to these colors though I really want to toss some of my familiar standards in there - a bit of blue or purple but so far, there doesn't seem to be a spot for them. Take a peak at the August Tropicana page if you'd like.

Finished the White Wizard Barrette

Had a great time thinking about this and beading it. You can see the finished barrette here.
Have a super-kali-fragilistic-expialidocious day!!

Phew!

Finished, just in time! Now to start planning the August project. I'm really enjoying this process and like my July piece way more than the June piece, but both have their good points. If you're into peeking, check out my blog . I love looking at all the work people are doing and am so impressed by the varied pieces I've seen!

Cheers all,
Sarah/beadnik
