Bead Embroidery ~ November BJP Finished!

Oh goodness, it's been such a long time with very few posts. My appologies all over the place. I've been missing the whole blog scene so much. Today I read all of the January posts on the BJP blog, and followed many links to blogs showing recent work by members... a totally awesome way to spend the day!!!!!!!

To make amends, I plan to write one post every day for the next 4 or 5 days. First I'll show you Nov, Dec and Jan BJP. Then, I'll post pictures of Thom's (my bro) recent BJP quilts. The last post will be about my new book. Guess I'm sort of an all or nothing kid, eh?


My November BJP (above) is a bit unusual for me, more representational... fallen leaves of deep red color, rain, snow, harvest moon. At the same time, it was an odd month for me. Although there is much beauty in this season, the encroaching darkness and winter chill got under my skin a bit. Also I felt rather isolated and lonely, perhaps like the way the last leaf on a tree might feel.

Technically, it isn't a big deal. Yet I'm rather fond of it, especially of the sequin snow flakes.
