bead journal project for April


 I was really inspired by the idea of stitching on Japanese papers.  I love spirals so this paper was a natural choice.  I want to explore this idea further.

    A very subtle effect and the paper idea is innovative.

    Sooooo pretty, Angela! Just enough beadwork to complement the paper.

    Angela, what a great way to use your Japanese paper. I lived in Japan for three years and have collected some of that paper. I had used it for their festival dolls when I lived there, but wanted to do something else with what I brought home. Did you have to soften it in any way before beading? (moisture or crimping?) Lovely, Jude

    Hi Jude
    I couldn't find an email for you so I am answering your question here. I hope you find it! I did not soften this paper in any way. Another project I am working on I did crumple the paper and stitched on it. That works wonderfully well too.

November Bead Journal

Hmm, now I am wondering if this piece needs more beads.  I was thinking it is finished.  I don't like to dither but deciding when something is finished can be a challenge for me.  I am not loving this piece at the moment.  I doesn't make me say 'oh wow' but I am not sure what I would add to it.

Slow Stitching Sunday

  I have felt the need to play with very bright and vibrant colours of late.  This mandala I made a few years ago but it was calling to me again.  I have been loading it up with stitches to add texture.  I realize these brights aren't everyone's taste.  Since I am making it for me, I am not about to worry about what other people like or don't like.  Playing in this field of colour makes me happy!

Slow Stitching Sunday

 I have created more flowers.  These ones don't feel quite up to snuff.  I may put them back in the pile to work on further.  I think more stitching is needed on some of them.   We did our big Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, so today will be quiet.  I will enjoy some stitching time and some leftover turkey!
