It will be a great sense of accomplishment that I stuck to it and completed this collection. I have great plans for it. ;)<br /><br />Robin - Thanks for saying that my piece embodies the purpose of the challenge. You're right, it doesn't *have* to be a journal of pages. That's just what I thought of when I heard it was a journal project. I'm so glad I went the functional route. ;)<br /><br />Melissa - You are so sweet. I hope the subsequent pieces just keep getting better and better. I'm looking forward to bring these other traits to life. Some seem easier than others so this will involve some creativity on my part. ;)<br /><br />Marsha- Thanks for your kind words! I struggled at first to think of a theme for my collection, but when I came up with this idea, it seemed to lend itself to me exploring many different styles and ideas. I don't like to be backed into a corner, I want to stick my creative feelers out and I think this is just the perfect way for me to go about this.<br /><br />Mary T - I hope the cuffs I create in the months to come live up to what I have envisioned in my mind.

And thus your theme embodies the whole idea of the BJP!<br /><br />As for pages of a journal... well, that was never intended (by me) to be literal... your cuff is as much a page in a journal, a visual story of your desires and journey in life, as anything can be!<br /><br />Bravo!<br />Robin A.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144029559276053165.post-60273438291018452632011-02-16T18:55:36.653-08:002011-02-16T18:55:36.653-08:00That is so cool.

This has been a true labor of love producing this piece and I appreciate all the kind words. <br /><br />NEDbeads - I am SO looking forward to bringing these little creations to life. As I said in my post, it's going to be difficult narrowing down all my ideas. Maybe I just wont stop at 12, huh? ;)<br /><br />Barbara- You've captured the point of this piece... the journey we take to come closer to being that strong woman we all want to be. I'm so pleased that you see the mosaic factor I was going for, too!<br /><br />Roberta- Aren't they lovely? I've had them for years as a friend found them for me on a trip to Europe. My original gripe was their imperfection... the variation in size and cut kept them from being used in any project that required uniformity. But I've always loved metal beads and in mixtures like this where there's a slight variation in color. I thought they'd be a perfect background for this piece. Sad thing is I have no idea how to get more when I run out of these! <br /><br /><3<br />LisaLisa Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215779686301724363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144029559276053165.post-55135397327194130672011-02-15T14:55:52.588-08:002011-02-15T14:55:52.588-08:00PS I love the way you used the square beads.
