On my last piece, there was a comment asking if I still put my favorite bead on each piece. The answer is no; that was last year. I still love that bead (Czech bead #61016).

March done with Ribbon Embroidery!
HI all - I'm so excited about my March piece. I recently saw some ribbon embroidery and decided I just had to learn how to do this. So I ran to the book store and got a book and voila - my March piece (but it took me forever to find a needle that I liked that didn't keep breaking). Check it out!

What a breath-taking piece! And so are all its predecessors. I like the different techniques employed.

Very beautiful and tranquil. It is stunning! I too just tried some SRE but nothing like yours! And Robin is so right - don't you love the feel of the ribbon?? Now I've got to go find your previous entries to oggle them!!!!
Wow, is this gorgeous. I appreciate the story behind it too. You did so well with the ribbon emb. Very nice job. Julie C
Thank you all for your encouraging comments. One of the goals of the BJP is to stretch yourself as a bead artist. I have set that as a goal this year and feel really good where I am going. I have totally enjoyed viewing everyone's work. Aren't we wonderful! I just love this project - thank you Robin for starting it.

Beautiful, as always!
Karen! This month's mirror is fabulous, just fabulous. Don't you just love the ribbon embroidery, the texture and colors it adds to the beads. Wow!
If this were mine, I'd be excited, too! The way you combined the beads and the ribbon embroidery is wonderful.
