more BJP progress



Well, I know July's almost over, but I'm still working on my July Bead Journal page. I decided to just "play" on this page and try out different effects. I've added some flowers and a couple of leaves. I really like the way the leaf done in the super-skinny bugles came out, but I did break a few beads until I switched to a super-skinny (and hard to thread) beading needle. It's hard to find those faceted drop beads like the 8 blue ones in the flower, that don't cost an arm & a leg....
It seems that once I start fooling around with flowers, things go easier for me - I think flowers are just my thing!
Happy Beading...

I love the blue flower with those big beads. I wish I had some, because I'd send them along. Your page is really interesting! What is the background?

Hi Susan,
Thanks for your comment. I wish I had more of those faceted teardrops - they are hard to find! The background is just some linen that is interfaced on the back.
