A record of my work on the Bead Journal Project. And maybe some other stuff, too.

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.
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. Carol
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. Carol
Lois!!! Oh joy, oh happy, oh playfulness!!!! This is my favorite piece so far this year. It's a dreary, rainy day outside, but inside, looking at your fishies jumping the sun, I am as happy as can be!!!! Thank you!
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.
I'm an artist living in Birdtown, Ohio, where I live in The Old Dark House with my husband and several feline-americans. This is not a good place to live, but we shall abide. I started this blog to record my participation in the 2007, 2008 and 2010 Bead Journal Project, so most entries will be relating to that topic. Being an artist, though, I reserve the right to completely stray from my original intention without notice.

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

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

Lovely, and so delicate and precise! Reminds me of Frida. Ps. Love your profile! I laughed out loud!
What beautiful, vibrant colors! Reminds me of salmon making their trek upstream and going over the fish ladders. The ongoing circle of life.
Ohhhhh... I am absolutely in love with this piece!! The colors, the movement, the overall feeling - just fabulous!
