Hi everyone.....here I go making progress with my July journal in beading.
This is going to be a lot of fun I know. I'm getting right into my 1 or 4 Jacobean block. I think it will be about 4x4 when finished. Jacobean work is USUALLY done with crewel work...here I am changing the media and switching to beads. I am not sure how this is going to turn out, but today I went ahead and started filling in the leaves and vine. I love the vine as it was quite plain looking and then I remember some oval beads which I had recently removed from a skirt and added to my collection. They are perfect. They look like little 3 petal drops. I almost added 2 beads to the top to give them a "pansy" shape but decided that sometimes less is more.
Then I went to the top leaves and tried to figure out a way to make them look a little dimentional. I hope it works. I still have the very top leaf to finish....maybe later tonight.
So for now, this is my day's journal posting. Talk to you again soon I'm sure.

I'm sure the Jacobeans would have done this on their bedhangings if possible--Gorgeous!!!
Arlee....thanks so much for your thoughts on my work. I do apologize for being so long responding. I just found your comment tonight. I'm still learning how to navigate around these blogs.
hope we will be in touch again soon.
