Here's what I've got done for February - not a whole lot, but that's OK. I haven't imposed a deadline on myself. I'm really looking forward to beading the tree!
March is barely started - but I'm really happy about how the vessel turned out. Here it is with the cab on it and my first attempt to bezel the cab. I had to quit last night at 11:00 p.m. because I had more computer work to do. Tonight I'll finish the bezel and probably work more on February's tree.
But now it's time for a very late lunch - I'm a hungry puppy. Hope you're all having a happy and creative day!

They are going to be spectacular!
aw, thanks Sandy!
I love these pieces so far -- can't wait to see how they turn out.
The tree scene is absolutely gorgeous! I admire your work so much. I too am anxious to see how it all turns out. It sounds like you relax so much while you are creating. I love bead embroidery so much but your work is so much more tedious and artful than the regular embroidery like I do. I love your style and techniques. Absolutely beautiful...

This is such a fascinating combination of mediums...so unique.. I would love to watch you in person doing these vessels... What lovely feeling of spring with your march one..

Thank you Lois, Sharon, and Gerry!
Sharon, when I'm creating it's like therapy. It seems that whatever is stressing me out goes away when I'm "making stuff". When I worked in high tech full time, melting glass was my therapy. When I started melting glass full time (both making and teaching), creating fiber art became my therapy. Now that I'm back in high tech again, I need all the therapy I can get!
;-)
Gerry, if I'm ever up in your area - or if you're ever down here - I'll give you a demo!
Shirley, it is so fun for me to watch your process. I was hooked by the title of this post, "Allowing....." because this is something that I wrestle with constantly -- allowing myself the time I REALLY need to bead the way I'd like to. I so LUV your vessels! Like Gerry, I want to watch you make one!

Thanks, Christi! I'd have hubby make a video for you tube, but it would be way too long. These take quite awhile to make - and that's before any beading gets done. :-)
I've had to deal with deadlines during my entire career in high tech, so allowing myself time, i.e., not imposing deadlines on myself, is something that I really need to do. Not all of my creative work is that way, but I decided that this BJP project will be that way (after I beat myself up for not finishing January "on time").
I have never seen anything like these before.
Amazing and so beautiful.
Thank you, Diane! When I first started felting about 2 years ago (can't believe it's been that long!), vessels were the first thing that I made. I love vessels... glass, pottery, fiber, etc. Being able to create them in fiber makes me very very happy!
I love watching your pieces come together. They're beautiful!

Your tree vessel is breathtaking and the cabachon is coming along very nicely. that is a beautiful cab!!!! Beading is such fabulous therapy isn't it??!!!
Thank you Marty and Elizabeth! Elizabeth, you're right about beading being great therapy. I wish I had more time for it - but that's probably why it's therapy, it's such a treat!
