Bead Journal Project for Oct., 2007. Bead embroidery on two fabrics. I've struggled with weight issues all of my life. Yet this piece isn't about loosing weight so much as about RESPECT, respect and love for the body that was delt to me by the hands of birth. While in the process of stitching this page, I realize that I'm creating a respectful tribute to my body and setting a goal for the rest of my life.
