March BJP
Yes, I know it's not March yet, but I just had to do this one before I did the ones for December and January. These beads have been screaming at me for months now and I couldn't put them off any longer. I bought the Cherry Quartz several years ago at my first big (San Mateo) bead show. I went into overload and bought every thing in sight. LOL. Since coral is one of my favorite colors, I figured I would eventually find something to do with them. I started collecting things to go with them and found the perfect cabochon. From the

Just gorgeous! I love pink, so this is very appealing to me! It's funny how some months come together so quickly and others are slower.
That cherry quartz cab is awesome, Arline! I can see why you were so motivated to do this page.

Wow Arline... it's beautiful! So much texture, I love it.
I was so on top of my pages in December and have slipped a bit, just got started on January (a tough topic for me on this page) and have no idea what I will do for February. I'm feeling green for March - or maybe I just want to see something other than white snow :-) I'm having fun with it though and have had a blast watching the progress with the pages of others.
Isn't it neat when you finally use some beads you love but just haven't found a use for before? I think it turned out very nice.
Ooooooooh, I do love coral and pink beads... yummmmm! These beads and your cab would have been screaming at me too. Did you plan this piece, or is it spontaneous/improvisational? Is it about pretty colors and lovely beads? Or, is there meaning you'd be willing to share with us? Either way, it's fabulous!
Robin,
This one was strickly improv. I knew the elements I wanted to use, and I wanted a ruffle for some reason. Beyond that,I just put them where they told me to put them. LOL This was a very chatty bunch of beads!
Thank you all for your kind words.
Arline
What a pretty piece!
What size are you making your BJP's?
Love the ruffle! There is some great texture on this page! I can tell you enjoyed doing this one!!
Cheers, Denise
Sue,
My pages are approximately 4x6 inches. It just seemed to be a workable size for me...big enough to tell a story, but not so big that I get overwhelmed.
