The following is my year-in-review wrap up with links to all BJP related posts, but not to worry. At the end of this post is a list of links to just the finished works. A beader's digest version, if you will.
ONE wherein I launch into the odyssey in earnest.
TWO wherein I begin work on my first page.
THREE wherein the work continues for the June page.
FOUR wherein the first page nears completion.
FIVE wherein the June page is complete.
SIX in which the July page is begun.
SEVEN in which the July page continues.
EIGHT in which I discover underpainting and the July page is near completion.
NINE in which I chronicle the run-up to the finish for July.
TEN in which I display the finished piece, titled Fire/Self-Portrait 1
ELEVEN which illustrates the early stages of my August page.
TWELVE which shows the finished August page, titled Lughnasadh
THIRTEEN which shows the first steps for the September page.

SEVENTEEN, the post about October's beginnings.
EIGHTEEN, the post about October's progress.
NINETEEN, the rather hurried post with my not-quite finished page for October.
TWENTY, the post which shows the finished October page, entitled Water/The Undine
TWENTY-ONE wherein we see the completed page for November, entitled Samhain/Day of the Dead.
TWENTY-TWO wherein, if one scrolls to the bottom of the post, one will find the beginning of the page for December.
TWENTY-THREE, wherein we find the first update for the December page.
TWENTY-FOUR wherein we see the next update for December.
TWENTY-FIVE wherein we have the completed page for December, entitled Winter Solstice
TWENTY-SIX in which the January page makes a bit of a false start.
TWENTY-SEVEN wherein we chart the second stage of the January page.
TWENTY-EIGHT wherein we see the third stage of January's progress.
TWENTY-NINE wherein we see the completed January page, entitled Earth/Self-Portrait 2.
THIRTY, the post where I charted my progress by making a little movie. At the end of the post is the completed page for February, entitled Imbolc.
THIRTY-ONE, the post that shows the completed page for March, entitled Ostara.
THIRTY-TWO, in which the April page is shown completed. It is titled Air/The Sylph.
THIRTY-THREE, in which we see the finished page for May, entitled Beltane.
Now we come to it. How will the pages be displayed? As I mentioned, they are all interchangeable flaps for my "extra pocket" purse.
The link for the project itself is now defunct.
Oh. One last thing. That box I was working on to house the pages? Well, there was a bit of a kerfuffle there and the lunchbox had to be scrapped. The upshot is this: we're going on to Plan B. I used to make padded boxes, so with the remaining black leather, some mat board and an afternoon at my sewing machine, Something Other will be produced. And will be the subject, along with my final thoughts on the BJP, for another day.
EDIT: Here's a little shout-out to the nice folks at
Jewelry & Beading, as well as
Needlework/Craft Gossip.
