I thought it would be fun to share the year of disk beads from the 2012 Bead of
the Month Club. Each month I would sit down with the color palette
Brandi Hussey had created for the Art Bead Scene and mix up my colors. From there I would make my disk beads. We had 20 in the club this year and that's 200 beads a month and a whopping 2400 disk beads over the year!
Well, it's almost a year in review - there were three months I haven't
taken photos of and darn if they aren't packed away in those notorious five boxes I have left of beads to unpack. I swear I will finish unpacking my studio before the New Year!
I had such a great time with each month's challenge but wasn't sure I was going to do a disk edition of the BOM Club again. It was so much work. But since several have asked about it I thought I would open it up to 10 subscriptions for 2013. For the next year I have a list of my favorite paintings that I have hoped to interpret into beads for a while now.

Gorgeous beads Heather! One of these days I'd love to have enough money to sign up for your BOM club!
I would love to have the funds to sign up for your BOM club!. The beads you made this past year are just beautiful. You are so talented.
Adore the orange/green set at the top, love how you bring little bits of the painting into the beads. xx
very nice sets :)
I LOVE seeing what you do with the ABS palettes, Heather! They look fantastic. I bet your members are always super excited each month!
Thanks for the shout-out!
So cool to see the inspiration behind the beads. Isn't nature and the light in it amazing to design with? I love these as well as many others I have designed with. Thanks for sharing.
