January - finished

Hi everyone - I've finished my January piece and posted it to my blog, if you would like to take a peek. It is improvisational beading, encrusted, and about 3.25 X 4.50 inches, so fairly small. I'm pretty pleased with it, but I did have trouble during the process of not liking where it was going, so I kept pulling things out and starting in another spot, etc. Perhaps it wasn't quite as improvisational as I had hoped! Anyway, hope you enjoy it.

January's done - the PERFECT choice - Double Infinity

I finished my January button and am quite pleased with the results. I did have to ask Robin just how she gets the backs on those half-dome buttons. It seems i should have done a running stitch to gather the fabric before i put the back on. As with my last year project, i'm sure things will get easier as i go along!

I am really happy with the format i choose. I wanted something i could hold in my hand, with dimension, that could be encrusted and that i could finish quickly! WHY? Because I have so many other projects just waiting to done, as well as a big house to clean and 20 pounds to lose :)

I already started February last night and can't wait to get back to it SOMETIME today!

No blog - YET... - but i'll post it on FLICKR so you can take a peek if you'd like.

FYI: as previously mentioned I am using size 100 - about 2 1/2, half-dome dritz buttons. They were the largest size i was able to locate when deciding on a form for my project this year :)

Started January

Good morning, everyone! I have begun my January piece and have posted a scan of it to my blog. It's so fun following everyone's progress and seeing the different ways people are approaching their work. I'm definitely going with a more spontaneous process -- seeing what color/shape interests me as I go along. Very fun and freeing! Hope you enjoy.
