Completed Journey

This is my completed project. I have attached my beadwork to a faux leather hand made book cover. It was important to me that the cover be removable so that I can put a blank journal in as they become full.

This project was an exciting adventure in to a style of beading I have never done before and into stretching my creativity by not using a pattern! I have never made anything without a pattern before. It has been both enjoyable and taxing. Maybe I can finally call myself a bead artist now.

I wish I had a better picture...perhaps someday I will be able to update this with a better one.

Here are some other views of the beaded element:
