BJP May



There is not much meaning behind the piece of May. Because May was a long time ago and I just finished it. So it's not a journal either. But there are 5's and 9's in it (for May 2009). And it was an experiment for me. To me this is a very Dutch piece, because of the colors: red, white, blue (of the flag) and Orange (of the kingdom). For some reason these colors remind me of May.


The colors also inspired me to make a bracelet in Delfts Blue, also a very Dutch piece.
Let me know what you think!

I'm new in these parts and just looked at all your BJP pieces for the first time. Wow, they are beautiful! I especially like October because it reminds me of a waterscape. I have to ask, is that the one with the apple seed? If so, I think I see it! :)

Hello Barbara,

Yes, that is the one! How alert of you to see that! The appleseed is for a little baby that died of SIDS in the daycare centre of my children. Because he will never grown into a tree. I like it that because of beading the appleseed I still think about him from time to time. Thank you for your comment Barbara.

It's fun to see a piece that has no "designed meaning" because then I can see whatever I want in it. Right away on this one, I saw a circle of eyes and thought of it as a global circle of women beading and seeing each other through their beading.

I confess, I see the 9s of course, but can't find the 5s, unless they are huge and the bottom parts are what look like eyes to me.

I love your Delft bracelet!!!! In 1974, my partner and I bicycled in Europe for 3 months, including three weeks in Holland, which we LOVED. We were in Delft and went to the factory. I bought a few gifts and a pair of earrings for myself, which I still cherish. I'll never forget the kindness shown to us by Dutch people!

Your black bracelet is also gorgeous!

Three more BJPs to go!!!! Hugs, Robin

Lovely piece, Soe! It contains nine, 9's and five blue swirly things. I didn't notice any other fives, though. I agree with Robin, both bracelets are wonderful

Beautiful piece, Soe! I love the blue and white of Delft pieces, so I adore your bracelet, too.
