I finished my September piece! It doesn't look finished because I'm leaving the edges ragged. I'm not sure how I will put all the pieces together when I'm done, so I'm leaving options. This is my first abstract piece in a looooong time. It came together pretty quickly once I had enough time to sit and finish it. I think the meaning behind it is pretty clear, though.
It's sort of a swirl of emotions - some dark, most light, spring green for renewal and making resolutions...I think I mentioned before that September is my personal beginning of the new year. It's a little chaotic, sort of like my life. The spaces represent me trying to take a breath. If you look closely, you can almost see the 9s, which represent transformation. You'll also notice several yin yangs - my yearning for harmony and balance in my life. That's really my one resolution for this year - to whittle my life down to what's important and create more balance.
I have a tendency to take on too much at work and in my personal life and then not have time for what's really important to me. Hope you like it! I do! And I'm looking forward to doing October's piece.
Sorry the pic isn't the best. I do people better than objects. :o)

It's really wonderful!!! My eyes wandered all over the piece taking in the many lovely colors and sizes of beads. Pure eye candy. Happy New Year, Bohemia!
Very nice work! I love that you didn't feel compelled to put beads everywhere. The open spaces are wonderful and truly give you a breathing space.

Great colors, great page! I can feel your chaotic emotions flowing about with indecision...
Thank you everyone! I'm so excited that someone actually looked at my piece. :o) I am looking forward to making bead friends online. And thank you to everyone on BJP for your inspiration and willingness to share!

Hello Bohemia! I love the symbolism in your piece. The color and movement is wonderful.
I feel the fall is a new beginning also. I think because I live for summer and yard activity in the warmth. It just ended and here I am waiting again and starting an interspective journey with this project.
Nice to have a new bead friend.
WOW, Bohemia! For your very first BJP, you've made sort of a self-portrait piece... we see so much of you here, even without the explanations, I can sense your yearning for harmony and balance out of a life that is sometimes chaotic. It's good you are giving yourself room to breathe. It's a great pleasure to have you with us this year! Robin A.
Hi...I am just catching up with other BJP members today!
Your September page is wonderful! You did a lovely job portraying your feelings! I, too, like the open spaces that are allowing you to breathe and your color choices! You are off to a great start and I look forward to seeing your future pages!
Have a great weekend...~Lisa ;-)
P.S. I'm glad you pushed forward when you weren't sure you could! We all welcome you! And, I meant to say that I like where you are headed with the leaf in your October page!
I missed this the first time around - I'm sorry I did because this is great! Was this really your first page ever?
Wow! A cd! Who woulda thought of that shape? Obviously a very creative person! This is such a happy piece! I bet it's alot like you! And I can see the search for balance...I think we all want that! ;) Glad you're with us this year!
Warmest aloha,

This piece is so happily colorful. I love it. You did such a great job combining all those colors (I really love mixed up colors). What a great beginning.
Wow, what a colorfull page. I love the symbolism. Don't you love the circles? I am totally in them at this moment. Don't know if I will be the whole year...
