Beading November

I am having more fun with November now. This month the beading is a very intuitive process and feels a bit like July did, with lots of "beading Zen"...which to me that means complete relaxation, mindfulness, and immersion in the process.

In the photo on the left is a beaded square with brown on the bottom and purples on the top. I had originally thought I would do single bead lines, following the quilting lines, but I am not liking those lines now and every time I look at them I think "I will have to build them up"...hmmm now that I write that, it really fits with the November theme of needing to be strong, and "built up". At the top of this photo on the right you can see a single line of brown and that will be changed into something else soon! The purple square I love, although I am having a hard time keeping the lines straight, which I think is happening because I am not leaving enough space for the bottom beads and they are crowded.

And the last photo here is another finished square which I really like. And I also like how the shadows look in this photo! I am thinking of adding a third bead level to this square!

I am delighted to read today on the Bead Journal Project blog that Robin is planning to do another year of the BJP in some format and I am so happy about that! I am already dreaming of how my next series will be different and/or the same. If you love beading, check out the blog...they will be accepting new members for the next round!
