I participated in the Bead Journal Projects 2011 year. Or at least I intended to. I made it to about March or April, behind by only a little bit, and life happened. If you're not familiar with the Bead Journal Project, you create a bead embroidery piece, one per month, over the course of a year. But of course, life had other plans, and despite my best intentions, I didn't complete the project. Not that I wasn't busy - I followed favourite rock band around North America for a month. I got a new job. I got another new job. I went on another vacation. And, if you judge by my pathetic attempts at blogging last year, 2012 wasn't much better. The newest new job involves a lot of travel, and a lot of time away from home, and therefore beading. But 2013 is another new year, and I thought I'd try and finish up the 2011 series.
I don't know if I really had an intention for the fourth series. The second and third pieces just materialized. This one was harder. I will tend to monochromatic pieces if not driven in another direction. I'd also picked this one up after over a year absence. It was hard. In beading it, it felt a lot like I was starting over. I guess in many ways I have.
