About Me
- Julie
- St.Paul, Minnesota
- I was taught to bead embroidery about 15 years ago by my sister-in-law, Robin Atkins. Bead embroidery workswell for me because I don't have pressure of rules. I feel relaxed while I bead for that very reason. I've used bead embroidery as a way to handle anxiety, a chronic problem for me. I discovered I love texture. So I took a class in free form peyote, and made some jewelry that I really like. My husband completed his degree in Liberal Arts with a focus in studio arts. As he was learning, I learned a lot from him and discovered how many art forms are out there. We work well together, and collaborate frequently. In last few years, I've gone wild with rubber stamping, collage, altered art and ATCs. It's all sooooo coooool!!!

Congratulations not only on your piece, but on your years of sobriety! Good for you. Love what this represents. I think your theme for this year is very moving. Good luck and keep up the great job!
Very nice. I see lots of cool stitches and beautiful colors in your pieces. Aren't you lucky to have Robin as a sister-in-law! I also like your thoughts behind them as well. Go girl on the sobriety!!!
I love the cascades of colours and the strong movement.
Congratulations on the 14 years of sobriety! Shows your will power and strength of personality.
Best wishes,
Sabine
You are such an inspiration!
I can't help but believe after a year of focusing/beading on the beautiful aspects of life you will find the peace you deserve.
I am honored to call you my friend.
Julie, I really loved the pieces that you posted today. The colors are great and there is lots of movement -- I am looking forward to seeing more of your gratitude journal this year. Your trip with Ferne sounded really lovely -- it's so nice that you see how much there is to learn from older folks. So many others discount them.
Working with addicted people I know a little bit about your struggle. 14 years: that is amazing!
I also like the point of view you are taking with your grattitude pieces: what is there to thank for instead of what don't I have.
I think the pieces are beautifull, and not only the BJP ones. I bookmarked your blog to come back again and see more. Thank you and good luck!
