Last bouquet of summer

This is my last BeadJournal piece . It is for the month of August. Have enjoyed doing this and I must say that I am proud of myself to have completed this project. Looking forward to next year's journal. I turned 65 this October and for my birthday my husband decided to turn our storage room into a studio for me. It is a small room but I think it will look great when done. Check on funkybeading blogspot.com to see the before pictures and when done I will post pictures of THE STUDIO. Should be done in a couple of weeks. Lise

Happy Halloween!

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.

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.

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.

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.
