Today we welcome a new host for the month of June at Art Journal Journey. Please welcome my friend Halle who you'll find at Halle's Hobbies. Her theme for this month is A Stitch in Time. Per Halle, your journal page can contain time, stitching, or both.
I decided to take the theme literally.
I threw many stitches on a clock face from Graphics Fairy (see my right sidebar) I printed on 110 lb card stock. It's the first time I haven't used variegated thread in so long, I almost wasn't convinced this would turn out well.
Then I got out one of my stencils and added the title.
Wouldn't you know that my hand would cramp and shake by the time I got to the "S." Thus the errant mark over the letter.
I waited awhile before adding the word Time, so my hand would be functional again. On a side note, I started each word from the Thanks beyond belief for visiting today. Bleubeard and I are happy you stopped by. We hope you will join Halle, Yvonne, Erika, Bleubeard, and me this month at Art Journal Journey with your own art inspired by A Stitch in Time. Please be aware, we want to see your altered book pages, journal pages, loose journal art, canvases, fabric pages, and digital art. However, we cannot accept cards, ATCs, ATCoins, tags, or 3-D art not attached to your journal page, and will be forced to delete your entry.
I'm also sharing my first ICAD for 2020.
Future cards will be shown every Friday through the end of July.

Another fabulous theme over @ AJJ Elizabeth, that's a great first page with those stitched clock hands. Have fun with the ICAD's, I look forward to seeing them.. Happy June, take care Tracey xx
Ohhh. My Dad sure would´ve looooved your work again, having been a watch maker, amongst other, and I could join with all the clocks we have here, it would be pics only, but I´ll add all in regular posts, if that´s OK.
That's a cool idea! I tend to take things literally for the beginning of a challenge also. Then my brain actually kicks into some other ideas. I like the big clock image and also your stitches hands. Happy JUne. Hugs-Erika
That is very clever indeed. Love how literally you took the theme with this first piece.

Great post and have fun.xx
Its a fantastic clock face page with the stitched hands, I think we are going to enjoy Halle's theme this month. It was a good tip about the word stencil as well, guess who often runs out of space when the answer to the problem is so simple when you get a prompt to think about it.
Stay safe.
