Bead Journal Project 2010

by Robin Atk

This year there are 300 participants in the Bead Journal Project. As members, we are each committed to making one piece per month for a year.

Each piece is a visual journal of what I'm feeling, doing and thinking during the month. Each piece must include some beads. This year I decided to try collage, something I've not done before. My pieces include (and are influenced by) 6 words that I choose each month on the 1st. My goal for the year is to create collage pieces using paper that I've painted (acrylic paints) felt, beads, embroidery and words. It's challenging!!!

The page size (not including the black) is 7" x 7". The beading can be any amount of that space. To learn more about the Bead Journal Project, check out our website: www.beadjournalproject.com
