I picked a Disney theme

Whenever there is turmoil in my life, I reach for happy colors...
My August piece is posted on Beading Arts today :-)

Continuing on with 2010...

If you would like to see my latest BJP, it is HERE on my blog. I am still only on the month of September, but I am determined to get my entire 12 BJP's for 2010 finished as I begin work on 2011's BJP. Please take a peek!

A little late - the first time!

I'm a bit late with this month's August BJP - my spirit doll - but I think I have a good excuse - GRIN! September is back on track!

August BJP is on my blog!

Hi everyone!


I just posted my August piece (detail above) here.

I've been missing on the BJP blog scene and feel very badly about it. The reasons are partly personal issues in my life right now and a ton of other obligations, projects, house guests, travel, etc. that have kept me waaaay too busy. There's more of all that on the horizon, but for the next three days, I hope plan to get caught up reading your blogs and seeing all the creative work being done in the BJP!!! And later this week, I want to will write another post about one way to finish BJP pieces that can give them a place in the fine art world.

Reminder... Once you have completed 8 BJP pieces for the year, you are eligible to put them on our BJP website on your own personal page!!! (Here's how your personal page will look... mine from the first year.) There are directions for how to send in your pictures on the website, here. (These are actually directions for last year's BJP, but they are the same for this year.) I look forward to seeing some of your pages and pictures soon. It's so neat to see them all together in a group, don't you think?

Please forgive my recent absence from active blogging... I'm sooooooooo excited to have a day to catch up and see your work!

Beady hugs,
Robin A.

I've been busy and have finished the BJP pieces for July and August, plus several other projects. Above is a little sample of August, which uses orange, one of my favorite colors. You can seem the pieces on my blog. Thanks for looking!
