Bead Journal Project - March’s Chaste Moon

March’s Chaste Moon
For this month’s Beaded Journal Page, I had the work do double duty. There was a challenge in one of my favorite forums (Bead Arts forum) to create something “hidden in plain sight”. I chose to work braille words into my journal page, using a different size (but same color) beads. […]

Bead Journal Project - February’s Snow Moon

February’s Snow Moon
I used a number of different patterns for dimensional snowflakes on this addition to my Beaded Journal pages. Some of them look kind of fuzzy in the photo, because they stick straight up and I can’t control the aperture on my camera for depth of field adjustments. Next camera, that’s for sure!
You can […]

Bead Journal Project - November’s Beaver Moon

So, I’ve managed to end the year still on schedule! I spent the month of December thinking about how the word beaver makes me giggle in a very juvenile way, and realizing that I really didn’t want to do an actual portrait of a beaver on my beaded page for November’s Beaver Moon.

Bead Journal Project - October’s Hunter’s Moon

Hunter’s Moon
Even more warm browns and golds! I spent the month of November reflecting on the month that had just passed and creating Hunter’s Moon. There isn’t really any hunting symbolism that really appealed to me to bead, so I decided upon the pawprints following a trail…or are they creating one?

Bead Journal Project…September’s Harvest Moon

Harvest Moon
At last! The warm browns and golds that I love so much! I spent the month of October reflecting on the month that had just passed and creating Harvest Moon. I think I’m going to have a very hard time with the moon for October, which I’ll start the first week or so of […]

Bead Journal Project…August’s Sturgeon Moon

Sturgeon Moon
Once more, I spent this month working on the moon for last month! It’s not that I’m behind…I decided in the beginning to work on the month that has just passed, hoping to gather more inspiration while I’m experiencing it!

Bead Journal Project…June’s Strawberry Moon

Strawberry Moon
I just can’t seem to work on the current month…I have to think about what the previous month was like in order to really come up with a beaded journal page that I like. So here’s my journal page for July, but it features the moon for June. You can find links to more […]

Bead Journal Project…WIP

Have you heard about the 2007 Bead Journal Project? It’s a group effort started by Robin Atkins, and I’m excited to be taking part in it. For one year, participants will be making a beaded journal page for each month, all of them the same size and shape. I’m doing 4×6 inch (postcard size), and […]
