http://www.beadjournalproject.com/ is a group of people who do a beaded piece every month for a year. This is the third year I've been in it. It is the perfect way to work in a series. Each artist decides what their theme for the year is.
Mine is to felt a background, then machine quilt/embroider it. I always have a focal piece-makes me use those wonderful things I buy and then don't know what to do with. Additional beads complement the focal piece. Since the layers are felted wool or batting, I'm just straight stitching the edge and using a pinking blade on the rotary cutting to finish the outside. Note: the pinking blade will mark your cutting mat, so use an old one.

These are my most favorite color combination. I love this.
I love the colours too! Very nice.
Same here, simply beautiful colors!
Love the color and the movement. It kind of reminds me of laying in water and looking up towards the surface.
loving the colors in this Sandy, it's a beautiful piece.
You're using one of my favourite colour combinations. Of course, you're also making me feel guilty because I'm just starting June. Next year they won't be quite so labour intensive. Famous last words!
Another masterpiece in blues and greens. Isn't felt just the yummiest thing to embellish?
