keeping on finishing

I have finished another ATC for this group of cards so really impressed with my Protection eye.
See it here didi-beadwork.blogspot.com. I hope you all like it and this was one of the quickest as all the pieces fell into place. The background is transfer printed on vilene and stitched through ultrasuede (green).

Experiment in Not So Dark--December BJP



I finished my December BJP on January 2. Close enough...

I did manage to use blue for all 12 months, but I'm really ready for some other colors for 2012.

Come on over to my blog Crackpot Beader to see what the whole page looks like.

December ATC under the wire


Hi all - I really wanted to finish before the end of the year and didn't think I'd make it. BUT we left our party early (10pm) last night and when I got home I finished my ATC before midnight. Soooo - I finished on time, just under the wire.

This month's BJP was to represent my trip from PA (the snow) to FL (balmy palm tree) for the winter, using printed map that was laminated, glass beads, Swarovski Cyrstal Sequins, resin snowflake and metal brad.

This was an exciting year and I enjoyed making my ATCs. Now I have to figure out what to make for my 2012 BJP! That is usually the biggest challenge - figuring out what to do.

Happy New Year and BEAD a lot in 2012, Karen

December Gratitude Goddess Pin

Happy Holidays to you all. Well, it's still December and I've completed my last Goddess pin for the year. She is pure Gratitude for being here for another year, for each new day, for being well, being happy, and completing this challenge on time. The shell in her hand is from a local beach, in Hollywood, FL. Here is the link to my website, MermaidsJewelz.com where you can see all of the Goddess Pins I've created for the BJP.



I'm looking forward to this coming year's BJP; however, I'm still deciding what to do. A very healthy and happy New Year to you all.

Are They All Blue? Four Months of Bead Journals



At the beginning of the year, I decided to see if I could do all 12 months of bead journal pages in shades of blue. I've finally posted August, September, October, and November. Are they all blue?

You'll have to come over to my blog Crackpot Beader to see.
