Bunny S. is a 2007 BJP member who lives in Bellingham, WA. She and two of her beady buddies have been doing the BJP all along. However, they aren't much into digital (except for cell phones)... no blogs, websites, flickr or even much into emails.
A couple of months ago, I had the pleasure of beading with them for a couple of days (a delicious retreat!) and took some pictures of their work. Since nobody in the BJP has seen it, I thought I'd show some of it here. (I'll show Tracy's work in the next post.) Sorry, I don't really know the stories or name that go with each piece. Yet, I think you can catch the drift pretty well!
I hope Bunny will finish and eventually get her work in the BJP Member Gallery, as it's really wonderful... I love the mix of fabric, fibers, textures, thread embroidery, bead embroidery and mixed media. Note that some of them are works in progress... To my eyes, she really nailed the concept of "visual journaling." Don't you think? I'll let Bunny know I've posted these pictures, so she can check the comments and possibly even respond. Here's her work.... and I think it's all clickable!

Love all of these pages. I love the fabrics with the choices of beads, stitching and extras. Glad you put them here for us to see.
ReplyDeleteWow, love Bunny's work! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBunny, I love your work! If you read this, can you please let me know how you make your decisions about what fabrics you chose to go with what, some of the thought process. I would love to be able to do something like this but I have no idea where to start!
ReplyDeleteYour work is beautiful! I'm glad that Robin got a chance to take pictures. Thank you Robyn for sharing.
I'd never thought of doing that, and don't at the moment know of anyone who is doing BJP and not digital, but these are cool. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteBunny does some fabulous fabric and beading work. Love all of them, especially the one with the bunny.
ReplyDeleteShe's inspired me to maybe use fabric and regular emboidery to my pages for next year. That would stretch me a lot.
Wow Bunny, these are fabulous pages! So colorful and textural. I love them all!

After all the amazing beading I've seen on the BJP blog these last twelve months, I thought I had seen just about every take on beaded journals there was to see, but these pages are so fresh and new.
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased that you were able to share them with us, Robin, and especially please that Bunny allowed you to share her pages with us.
