The Year of Jewelry Project 2009 (YOJ09)

by diannekargbaron on December 30, 2008

After a two year hiatus, I am rejoining the Year of Jewelry Project.

I participated in this project in 2004-05 and 2005-06. The summaries of all the pieces I created during those years are here and here.

I’m both dreading and excited at the idea of having to complete one piece every week for the next 52 weeks. Having participated in this project before, I know exactly what kind of commitment is involved. As always, I do seem to have a lot of other things on my plate, but I don’t foresee any difficulties with completing the year. In fact, as the year progresses, it should get easier. All of my heavy deadlines are in the first six months of 2009.

This year, the themes are focused on movies, periods of history and artists. I’m undecided about doing a weekly piece based on the themes, but if something strikes me I’ll give it a try.

So… now I just have to write my goals for the year.
