Bead Journal Project-January
I had signed up for another challenge for this year. I have discovered that I really like beading, so when I saw the Bead Journal Project, I signed up when they opened for membership! The plan is to select a specific shape and bead that shape repeatedly once a month. I pondered for a long time on what shape I wanted to do. So many of the beading artists had such wonderful ideas in years past, but I finally decided on the "Yin-Yang" shape for mine. I drew and cut out 12 circles-about 3 1/2 inches in diameter from Timtex and then drew the symmetrical curve to create the yin/yang. Then I had to decide on colors! And here is my January beading!
Each month I will bead a new "Yin-Yang" of different colors and different design. Then at the end of the year, I hope to create a complete work of art, using these 12 shapes.

What a great symbol to bead, I love your first color combination and will look forward to seeing the next one.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very good idea, and the piece does not look newbie-ish at all. Eleven Yin-Yang interpretations to go - there is an interesting year ahead.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I look forward to future installments!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! These are all going to look so great together at the end :-)
ReplyDeleteI bet this idea will develop as you progress through the year, deepening your understanding of the concept of yin and yang as you bead each piece. Congratulations on a great start!
