I debated on participating in the Bead Journal Project this year - it tends to occupy a lot of time and I have many projects planned for this year, many with firm deadlines. But I really feel i came up with an interesting concept...and, well, I'm off to a late start, as usual!
My plan is to create a series of "bugs", each of which will have the name of an actual insect but won't necessarily accurately depict each insect - instead it will be my interpretation of the name and constructed in a large variety of techniques; I suspect many will be very mixed media, but always incorporating beads.
I have managed to obtain my "specimen jars" for displaying my bugs (and providing the uniform size that should be part of BJP - 6 1/2" x 4 1/2" sure seemed to be a reasonable size, but they seem very large in person. That's probably okay though, it gives me room to incorporate lots of detail.
I have actually started my first creature, but I currently have other projects with looming deadlines, so I'll have to work on him in bits and pieces.
I promise there will be more to see than an empty jar - soon I hope!
This sounds as if it will be an interesting project. It is unusual.I think, to find a beading blog, but perhaps I don't look in the right places. I like the swimwear! Thanks for reading my blo.
