Bead Journal Project: September

The Bead Journal Project started up again this month, and I was ready and eager to dive right in. This year I’m making my pieces smaller. I know that last year’s postcard sized pieces weren’t really that big to begin with, but I found it sometimes challenging to keep up with it. This year, I want the pieces to be more heartfelt and less about techniques.
Huh?
Well, last year I used the full moons as my guiding theme, so each month’s pieces was based upon the name of that moon. This year, I’ve chosen hearts, but simply as a guiding shape instead of a controlling theme. Each month, I’m choosing a fragment of scripture from one of the Psalms, and creating a little 4 x 4 inch beaded piece that illustrates the feeling of that verse for me. Here is my piece for September:
Psalm 9:2
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
I did not intend for the shape inside the heart to be an ‘S’. It’s supposed to just be a shape, an indication of a welling up from the depths of my soul, resulting in an outpouring of song. Oh well, ‘S’ can stand for sing or for song too, I suppose

This is really cool Cyndi! You should have the neat Official Bead Journal Button on your blog.
I can’t. I could put it on the post, but not on the blog…it’s a network blog
That is great work and what a great idea to make it a whole year project.
Thank you, Connie! A *lot* of the poeple who did the project last year have signed up to do it again!
