Bead Journal Project - 2008

July 2009 - 11th in series

July colors are Summer Colors. The metal flower disk has a saying on the back - "expect miracles"; around this element is the Astrological symbol for Summer. The carved moose bone "flame" represents summer campfires as I spend time in Maine at a summer camp teaching enameling and where I made the Basse Taille enameled pendant (on right side of the piece) that can be removed to wear on a chain.

New on this piece:

• I have a ribbon embroidery border with ribbon I dyed myself
• The hanger is an embellished St. Peters Chain
• Stack shells stitch
