BJP 2010 --Almost Finished!

Here are the last two pieces of this years Bead Journal Project.

November photo is rather blah looking, kind of like Nov. around here.
This piece is called " Plentiful Abounds", done in coppers and warm browns.

Here the December piece of the puzzle, "Visions of Sugarplums"

I have so enjoyed this journey. All I have to do is mount them on a canvas and the puzzle will be ready to hang. I'll be sure to post when it's finished.

BJP OCTOBER Falling Leaves

We have had a beautiful and long fall this year. The beautiful leaves just keep hanging around. First the aspens, and now the cottonwoods. I even saw a beautiful red oak tree in town yesterday. October's Bead Journal piece is in honor of the beautiful fall leaves and berries.

BJP SEPTEMBER Garden Fairy

Summer is coming to an end and the garden fairy is ready to fly to warmer places. This is my September piece of the Bead Journal Puzzle.

BJP August "Tiptoe thru my flower garden"

I'm a bit behind like many but here is my August piece. The puzzle is taking shape. I can hardly wait to unveil it after December's piece is done.

This month was inspired by the flower beads I happened across at a garage sale and all the beautiful flowers this summer.

July BJP

Here's the July piece "Celebration" in honor of the 4th of July.

June BJP Butterfly garden

Here's my June BJP puzzle piece: Butterfly Garden. The colors are pink, lavendar, and black on a pale lavendar fabric. Mostly 11's and 6's with a few bugle beads and of course, a butterfly bead.

BJP May - Get in Gear (for summer)

Finally finished May, piece no. 5 of the BJP puzzle. It took off in it's own direction finally, after floundering for awhile. I chose yellows and oranges to represent wildflowers blooming here.
