Between 2008-09, I participated in the Bead Journal Project founded by Robin Atkins. It was through this project that I learned I had a story to tell and that I could use my needle to document my life and my experiences. Without Robin and her Bead Journal Project, I'm not sure I would have ever realized this about myself. For that I am eternally grateful.
I completed 11 bead journals because 11 is a very special number in my life. Here are their pictures and links to the original posts that tell their stories and show more detailed photos...
Number 11: My Symphony
