Sew Bold

 

Erika, who many of you know as BioArtGal, is our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  Her theme is Let's Face It.

I'm tapping into my mixed media skills with this dimensional journal entry.

This is all about sewing

and a beautiful woman

 

who is deep in thought.

These tools will help her make a beautiful gown.

Then she will be "sew bold and sew beautiful."

 

I started with a sheet of 110 lb. cardstock, over which I glued a section from gifted dress pattern instructions. I added the paint chip sample, which was embellished with scissors from a travel kit, three buttons, and three safety pins holding a length of tape measure I "threaded" through the holes in the paint chip.  I then stamped the woman's image onto a sheet of cardstock and added it to the paint chip sample.  I actually created it on the paint chip, but it smeared, so I re-stamped it and glued the new image over the boo-boo.  I also had no E-6000 when I glued the scissors and safety pins in place.  The excess glue I used wouldn't come off like it would had it been E-6000.

Thank you ever so much for visiting today.  Bleubeard and I are delighted you joined us and hope to see you this month at Art Journal Journey with your own take on Let's Face It.
