A coworker saw my newest purse, the one posted on November 29, and asked me to make her one. I told her that if she bought me two skeins of yarn, I’d consider that my payment. She couldn’t decide which purple she wanted, so she went with both. She wanted it mostly the darker purple. This is what I came up with.

 I beaded all of this year’s Bead Journal Project beads into a necklace. I used whitish beads between the beads and clear beads to hide the thread within the beads.

 A couple of closeups of the beads that needed clear beads.

December really needed the clear beads to show its shape.

And the last Bead Journal Project of the year. Yet another beaded bead. This one is four discs again, but the silver beads wind around the edges.
