But avidly following all the posts and blogs when I have time. I have started my project and will post photos once I figure out how to do that. I am just getting back into beading after years of inactivity. I love Robin's books! Thanks for letting a newbie play.
Oh, I am beading on denim pockets from jeans. Should be a fun experience! I plan to make little purses/bags from them when I am finished. I also started a blog but it doesn't have much on it yet so will post that when I get pics up and running.

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, Kat. I'm also a newbie to BJP. Beading on jeans pockets sounds like fun! I just started saving pockets for mini-bags. Will look forward to seeing your pieces.
