The project has several blogs - I'll be participating in the More Bead Journal Project Three.
I have just recently started dabbling in beads and am absolutely entranced by seed beads and an encrusted style of beading. So, I think I'll be working small (maybe 3 X 4 or so) and just see what mood strikes me each month as I work on each piece. It will be fun to see how it evolves.
I started a trial piece last month just to see how it might progress and I'm nearly done with it. It's a round format and only about 4 inches in diameter. I'll post another picture when it's finished.
I hope to continue with botanical drawing and pet portraits this year as well, so stay tuned to see what I'm working on. Looking forward to a creative 2010!

Followed your link from the BJP2010. Beautiful trial piece, can't wait to see the finished photo!
This is absolutely lovely! Will be watching for more.
Beautiful!
Thanks, everyone! I really appreciate your comments. I have just posted the finished version. Looking forward to getting started on the BJP for January!
If you find the hoop gets in the way, try using acid-free paper as backing... It works perfectly to keep the puckers away. Sumi watercolor paper works well as does interleaving paper...
Your finished piece is absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks, Robin! Good to know about the paper -- I'll definitely try that for my January piece. I have some ultrasuede that I'd like to use and it's very thin. The paper will help immensely.
