June BJP



Finally its posted!! With lots of help from my sister Beverly, I have my June Bead Journal page posted. Somehow I fell behind on everything, and I was going along so well! The whole idea behind my first page has to do with the fond memories I had (and still have) of my first Bead Cruise. I love the water, waves and sunshine. It was my first cruise and I am absolutely hooked! It was so fitting to pay tribute to that memory.

    Taking a second look there are some really great beads there. Can you talk about them? There is such great texture with all the beads and pearls.

    When I saw it I thought ocean bottom so I guess you really expressed yourself. It's gorgeous. I just want to touch it.

    Thank you everyone for the encouraging comments on my efforts.
    The shell beads are czech, I got them at the Int'l Quilt Show in Chicago. The pearls are my treasure stash. I used fringe drops for the little "bubbly pools". Everything else is seed beads. I'm trying to kep my promise of using only the beads I had before starting this journal. So far I am keeping to it ;^)

    Love it and yes it looks like the rocks and pebbles at the bottom of the river I used to swim in and I say used to because you probably can't see the bottom now. It's beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

    I have to echo everyone's sentiments, this page is absolutely beautiful! I love the ammonite style beads that you have used and the flashes of blue. I so admire you and everyone else who is doing this close beading - you must have reams of patience. I will look in again :)

    Oh, this feels so much like the seashore, those beautiful little tide pools and the like. I never saw one with so much treasure, though! Wonderful page!
