Our trees were a little late turning this year, but the foliage display of reds, oranges and yellows were wonderful in New Hampshire. They also lasted longer than usual. This is also the month for pumpkins, so orange was my color of choice.
Instead of a swirl of bugles, I had fun making a swirl of a rainbow of oranges. I do love this color and own lots of it in varying shades.

For August I decided to continue the hot theme and beaded this piece in red-oranges. I tried a slightly different swirl, but in transparent beads that do not stand out as much. The center eye is a stack of beads that stand up from the page.
I also found that I was comfortable not completely filling the page to the edges.
The page with flowers is the May silk fusion page. The ribbon and glittery threads are imbedded in the silk fusion.
I joined the Bead Journal Project in mid-May 2007, a few days after the trees had leafed out in their new spring green in New Hampshire. Even though the project officially began in June, I couldn’t help but make a May page showing the flowers of early spring.
My May page is sewn on silk fusion that I made about a year ago. I decided to keep the design simple so that the fibers of the silk. This piece/page is 4 inches square.
