"Cooler Days Ahead" is my 6th Bead Journal Project piece for 2007. In Houston during the month of November we are still longing for the cooler days of Autumn that other USA locations already enjoy.The base fabric for this piece is one I made with a gelatin mono-printing technique using ivy leaves to create the imprinted design. I toyed with several ideas of how to bead the leaves, but un-beaded these early attempts. The leaf beads inside the leaf images are loose, attached only at the stem. I like how they flop around, so I added a beaded fringe to add more movement.

Looks lovely! Well done you.
Good decisions about the leaf beads and the movement! I love surface fringe and the life it brings to a piece. Did you do the monoprint? It's lovely!
The fabric is divine! I like this page a lot from color range to the beading . . .

Very nice, Cathy!
Cool, Cathy. I'm an admirer!
I like the mixed media approach. Reminds me that I don't have to load my page with beads.
