January Page




January done, and on time, too. :- ) This is all about bringing joy into my life and setting the vibration for the new calendar year, which is full of surprises and delights. I used colors that were bright and joyous to me, and also symbolized prosperity and abundance.

Wow, I LIKE it! Wish I'd thought to take that perspective on the new year. Maybe it's not too late? ;- )

i looked at your piece before i read your description of it. the first thing i thought of was abundance, so i was happy to see that's what you intended. it's a very joyful piece of work, too.

I absolutely LOVE this page. You have totally gotten your idea across with this design, and color combo. I have good vibes for the start of the year and have not come down yet from the exhilaration I felt with the Blue Moon. It WILL last all year, no matter what.

I feel like I'm at the beach, looking at this. And I need a dose of beach right now here in Michigan :) It's just gorgeous! Great colors and movement - I love it.

Lois, you've outdone yourself on this one. The beading is beautiful, but the feeling I get from this page is pure joy.

Thank you all so much for your kind words! January has felt dark, cold and damp and it's seemed to take about 6 months to get to the end. Working with bright colors and playfulness made me feel a lot better. I'm so glad you all like it.

What beautiful, vibrant colors! Reminds me of salmon making their trek upstream and going over the fish ladders. The ongoing circle of life.
