April to August

Although I fell behind in April, I've now finished all my 2009 pieces and have put up photos on my blog here. I haven't been looking at the blogs since I fell behind, so I have the happy task of doing that now, to catch up.

new versus returning

I fulfilled my mission for the week already:


63 new registrants versus
47 returning members!

Yes, I realize that adds up to 110...... um, forgot to add myself in to all the previous figures! LOL!

The Butterfly book: a BJP compilation - a look inside

A portion of the butterflies in their bound state.
Each page has satin ribbons above and below the page. I've added all the yarn and beads to the butterflies on the top to show a continuous vine.

The Butterfly book: a BJP compilation

I completed the Beaded Journal Project commitment and had 12 lovely butterflies. I bound them with a coptic stitch and made an metal butterfly to place on the front cover.

August Butterfly BJP

The August butterfly is serendipitous. I played with the beads making an extremely textured butterfly. It marks the month when butterflies begin to make their journey elsewhere.

So long butterfly friends. I eagerly await your return and beauty.

July Butterfly BJP

July is one of the warmest months of the year in Arizona. The maroon shows the heat of the day when you can literally cook an egg on the sidewalk. The silver color used reminds us of the things that make us chill; ice, cold drinks, A/C.

Victoria Pearman aka artntheheart

June Butterfly BJP

June begins the heat of the sun in the desert and I opted for a different color. The lilac color of this butterfly keeps me thinking cool.

Victoria Pearman aka artntheheart

May Butterfly BJP

A butterfly for Mom who loves the color blue.

April Butterfly BJP

Spring is in full bloom and the butterflies have returned. I played with larger beads to accentuate the wing shape. A colorful bead plays as the body of this butterfly.

Victoria Pearman aka artntheheart

March Butterfly BJP

I am most creative as spring rolls its way toward the season. Many of the butterfly creations were monochromatic while this design departs from that showing a change in style.

Victoria Pearman aka artntheheart

February Butterfly BJP

February is another favorite month of mine. I celebrate a birthday, Valentine's Day, and an anniversary. This pink butterfly shows its pretty colors happily.

Victoria Pearman aka artntheheart

January Butterfly BPJ

January is a time to reflect, a time to put out the old and bring in the new. Silver and white depict the cold and snow that some experience. The little silver tips show that change is beginning.

Victoria Pearman aka artntheheart

Dec Butterfly BJP

December marks the holidays with the red and gold tinsel. I later added holly for the leaves to this page.

Victoria Pearman aka artntheheart

Nov Butterfly BJP

September in Arizona is still hot yet I remember from my hometown on northern CA when we had fairly brisk days. The blue in this butterfly show the cold slipping in to CA while the golden brown depict the warm afternoon sun of Arizona.

October Butterfly BJP

October is a favorite ghoulish month for me with great memories of trick or treat and goblins. The colors of this butterfly show the Halloween flavor and drying of leaves.

Victoria Pearman aka artntheheart

Sept butterfly BJP

In the spring of 2008 in Arizona, I noticed a flurry of butterfly action in our yard. Gorgeous iridescent flight in action. Tracing their steps from flower to flower, sunning themselves and onward to another treasure.

I choose butterflies for my beaded journal pages for their magic, their beauty and colors. The colors used in each butterfly reflects the depicted month.

Forgot to write down my blog so that you can see other pictures of Lizzy. funky beading blogspot.com Lise

Lizzy

This is a close up of my July BJ piece. July is usually hot in our part of the country... Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada but no so this year. I had this real "hot" material and thought that would be wonderful for July and a lizzard was picked for the beading part. You you enjoy the piece. You can see the rest on my blog Lise
