I managed to get my Oct BJP page done this week - finally something I can show! The chosen colors were matte amethyst, AB lime green 8's, and turquoise 15's. I picked out beads that went with the colors, and came up with "Things that go bump in the night" for a theme. The glass bead in the lower left has fringes around it, and the one on the right has little picots on the bottom, and fringes with sequins on top. It was fun to do, especially since I've been using only a few colors for about 24 hours of beadwork, and now I'm going back to that project. Next months colors are 2 shades of red and pearl white - all 11's.

Love Things that go Bump in the Night!!!!
Great colors - LOVE the eyes!
Some of my favorite colors! Love the eyes, too -
This looks great! I especially like the texture. One of the things I've learned in the BJP from work like yours is that I can add more texture. A new challenge and more inspiration!
I hope you will post pictures of the other beading you are doing. I'd love to see it.

Marty, I wish I could show you the other project! It's for a competition, and the rules are that you can't publicly post pictures. Joan
I love your plan to select your colors with the crazy eight deck... what a challenge you're giving yourself! I don't know that I could let the color choices get that far out of my control... but I'm thinking it would be a good idea to try. Oct. turned out very well... a good choice to topic to match your colors... Was it the lime green?
Does the picture in today's post suggest that you got your new camera? Hope so...
I'm looking forward to the day when we can finally see your "Seeing Red!" doll...

Hi Joan...I am finally catching up with other BJP members today!
I enjoyed catching up with your blog and reading about your BJP pieces. Your October page is really fun, full of texture, and the eyes are wonderful! Your September piece is lovely! I love the raku leaf and your symbols for this page!
I look forward to seeing each of your monthly pages!
Have a nice weekend...~Lisa ;-)
Hi! Wow! I really like all the texture & different beads you used! I'm such a hoarder! I'm glad that you can let go like that! It makes for beautiful pieces! Great work!
Warmest aloha,

That's a fun theme. Those eyes are terrific. I like how you made the extra little things that go bump in the night too.
