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. […]
A set of my Bead Journal Project pieces were selected as the Bronze Prize winners in the Freeform/Home Decor category! I found out about it late in January and had to send them in for photographs. They haven’t made their way onto the FMG website yet, but they have made their way back home! The […]
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!

January’s Wolf 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.
What to do, […]
I’ve received a number of requests for the source of the moon image that I’m using in my beaded postcards for the Bead Journal Project. Although I don’t remember exactly where I first got it, I do know that it’s a very old image and you are welcome to help yourself to it. I posted […]
Here are the rest of the BJP pages that I’ve already finished. This month, I’m working on the moon for last month, November. I know it’s confusing, sorry!
August - The Sturgeon Moon
September - The Harvest Moon
October - The Hunter’s Moon
