Hi Everyone
I'm Angela from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. I have a blog where I will post pictures of my bead journal pages.
You won't find a lot of beading on my blog just yet though. I have done some beading on my crazy quilts and I love to include beads in my paper arts. I think I spend more time working with the paper arts because it works up faster than fabric/fibre art.
I joined the BJP in hopes that it will force me to work more with my fabric/fibres. Although it is likely that I will incorporate paper into this project as well.
This is the first time that I have participated in this project. I am totally inspired by what I have seen of others work in past years. I really hope that I can develop my own voice through this. I better get stitching!

About the Bead Journal Project
The brain child of Robin Atkins, the first Bead Journal Project, which began in June of 2007, included 241 women and 1 man who were dedicated and committed to creating 12 bead journal pages, one per month, for a year.
The BJP is all about visual journaling using any media and techniques, providing it includes some beading. We are free to structure our bead journal pages any way we want, as long as all 12 are the same size.
The current years' Bead Journal Project runs from September, 2008 through August, 2009. This blog is a means by which we may support each other in process, techniques and design. Participants (many with links to their personal blogs or websites) are listed below.
Due to the limitations of blogger.com which places a limit of 100 authors per blog, there are three Bead Journal Project blogs this year. Be sure and visit all of them.

Welcome Angela. Stretching your work in a new direction is a good thing even if you find you prefer your paper. It helps to define what you like or don't like.
Hi and welcome, Angela!!! I'm very pleased to have so many CQers and art quilters with us this year. It will add a wonderful new dynamic to the BJP!
Robin A.
Hi Angela! I don't have a lot of experience with CQ, but I did make CQ cat a while ago. I thought it would be hard, but I really enjoyed it and the cat turned out great even though I didn't put stitching on the seams.
I have seen a few beaded pieces on paper or cardstock (maybe?) that really intrigued me. I'm new to the mixed media idea of things and am finding it interesting to play with. Tucking all kinds of ideas away to try playing with and working with/on paper is another I've added since reading your blog :)
