november beaded journal house

this is the genesis of my november beaded journal house, inspired by my trip to the Southwest last month. I love this fabric, too. It is "triple batik" from eQuilter. Since I like it so much I am going to try not to bead over it all, but i do have this compulsion to bead every square inch. With my drawing, too, I am still attempting to master negative space. Oh, I get it, I appreciate it, understand it, but actually applying it seems to be another matter...
