ARTifacts for June

I'm once again joining Seth Apter in his ARTifacts collaboration.  Here is my June journal entry created in my Rocking Horse Journal.

This is the spread that Seth will show on his blog.  As with previous months, everything else is detail.

For most of June, I spent T Stands For Tuesday at Bungalow 26.   As always, no glue is used in these journal pages, only my wonky sewing.  These tuxedo cats were a favorite among T visitors, as well as Bleubeard, who gave the mugs two paws up.

The remains of a Bingo card, left over from ATCs I made in May, became a mat for the darling cats.  Nothing goes to waste in my studio.

Although I hate my handwriting, I wasn't totally disappointed with this bit of writing.

The tea tree was so unique, I had to share it both on my blog and in this journal.

For the right side, I got out my stickers.  I wish I had stamped the words, but I don't have any white stamping ink, and I already had sewn the background paper to the red card stock.

I unsuccessfully tried to align the stickers that reminded me of lazy, hazy summer days at the beach.

I was amazed I actually found some sticker letters that reminded me of spring turning to summer, which happened this month.

I purchased this packet of barley grass to aid ROAR, a charitable organization that helps animals.  The grass was bought and planted for the two four-legged fellas' in my life.

Materials used for the left side of this month's journal include two photos I printed from my computer, colored copier/printer paper, black card stock, remains of a bingo card, a white gelly pen, and variegated thread.

Various stickers depicting summer and various letters were added to the black card stock and sewn with the same variegated thread.  The left over packet from the barley grass was attached with pop dots to the red card stock.


Once again, I want to thank Seth for creating this collaborative.  And thanks go to each of you for visiting today.  I'm very grateful for your visit and your support of my art and this collaboration.
