I'm working on a challenge that has to be completed by Saturday, called The Color Purple. Each participant was given 1 piece of purple (really, it's lavender and pretty ugly) fabric. The challenge size has changed several times, but I ended up choosing a pretty big size based on the original rules. Anyway, you can see my interpretation - the quote the book title came from and a field of flowers underneath. I still have a lot of beading to do, but I'm enjoying it.
After this, I will get back to my BJP circles. I'm almost done with October and have my November circle in mind. Take care, everyone! :o)
I'm missing my container garden on my patio since the weather turned cold!
Okay, 7 things about me. (I don't think they're little known- especially #3, but it's what I'm willing to post):
1. I love music, all kinds - r&b, rock, middle eastern, meditation music, soundtracks to movies I like and more!
2. I really like to dance. I used to perform with a middle eastern dance troupe. I choreographed middle eastern/west African/Caribbean fusion for my solos.
3. I talk a lot! :)
4. I really like to take pictures. I have pictures of my family and friends in really nice and really embarrassing poses! ha ha!
5. I like movies, but I can't afford to go to the theater very often. So I borrow them from the library.
6. I loooove to read or at least listen to books on CD while I bead.
7. Crime shows are my favorite TV, but I only watch the original CSI and Forensic Files. I also like MonsterQuest and UFO shows on the History Channel.
I hope these 7 bead artists will play, too, because Tag, You're It!

Please post 7 little known facts about you and tag 7 others to join in the parade!
Bleh! The part I added after the leaves is overpowering the leaves and is ugly. I've already taken it apart, and I'm going to fill in less space with size 15 beads so they don't overpower the piece. :)
I've added the leaves to the fabric. I like how the maple leaf sections line up with the individual leaves on the fabric, so as I add my embellishments, I will make sure not to cover those up. Looking at this, I can see how I'm less stressed with this piece compared to September's. I'm going to leave a lot of the space, but it still needs some work so it's not so structured. :)

for my blog. I've changed it so many times! but I finally found a look I think I'll stick with...for a while. :) Anyway, I've made most of the major pieces for October. I still have a few to do before I attach them to my circle. Thought I would share.
