Another month gone, and another BJP piece finished! Three full seasons are complete now as well, and I’ve only got the three pieces for summer left to do.
Each month, I’m choosing a fragment of scripture from one of the Psalms and using a heart shape to create a little 4 x 4 inch beaded piece that illustrates the feeling of that verse for me. Here is my piece for May:
Psalm 150:6
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Here are the three completed sets: Autumn, Winter, and Spring

That quote reminds me of a Sixpence None the Richer song. Loved your piece and the different variations! Have you tried adding to your piece by using some silver beads as accents? http://www.stonesandfindings.com/findings/categories/charm/rose/
These charms are so cute, especially for spring! i love shopping from there so i just thought i’d let you know
Your bead embroidery projects are sweet. And it gives me ideas to make something for my home decor.
Thank you both! Michelle, thanks for the link. The purpose of these pieces is to be as minimalist as possible and still capture the theme. Most of my bead embroidery is very complex, and these are designed for a different purpose
Very sweet. They make me happy to look at them.
