Bead Journal Project

April -
April is in honor of my Mom, it being her birth month. The feature piece on this is her sorority pin. The crystals represent her birthstone which is diamond.

March -

This piece honors my father-in-law whose birth month was March. The brass button in the center is from his military uniform. Bob Sr. served as a paratrooper during WWII.

Oh Dee D, these are just wonderful! I may have to run with your idea of using a small piece of beading to celebrate the births of important people in my life... I like the thought of framing a circle of family and friends after a year of making a piece for/about each one... That's the track your March and April pieces have me on... Thanks!!! I like the beautiful simplicity of your pieces! Robin A.
