Bleubeard and I would like to thank Elle for her great hosting of the October theme, Fairytales, Folklore, and Fables - Tell Me A Story. I loved her daily prompts and the pages she created using those prompts.
This month, Bleubeard and I are hosting Art Journal Journey. However, we have had our first ever disagreement about theme. Bleubeard wants Collage Fodder and I want Food and Drink. No matter how much each of us tried to prove our point, we were still deadlocked. That's when we decided to use both themes this month. Chose one, chose both, chose to combine the two as we did, but please join us with your take on Collage Fodder, Food and Drink, or both.
I realize a lot of people on Instagram and Facebook are members of a Collage Fodder Group. However, we are a blog only site and DO NOT ACCEPT links from either Instagram or Facebook. Blog links only, please.
Bleubeard picked out the fodder and I drew the cup and glass. He also asked me to sew everything together, which I did.We have a few detail shots you might enjoy:
I love how Bleubeard found "The alter ego of oven thermometer."
I forgot to add the date, which I am going to try to do this month.
Bleubeard and I decided on pink for our first entry. We also chose some recipes from a book on kitchen tools and recipes. Because there were so many circles and dots in the scrapbook papers, we added three hole reinforcements. I then sewed everything to 110 lb cardstock using red and pink variegated thread. We are also joining
Love your collaboration with Bleubeard though I suspect that you do most of the work. (Sorry Bleubeard, I do know that inspiration is also important.)
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece, Elizabeth, the stitching is fantastic, I love it! Enjoy your month hosting, take care, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteNice work. I like it.
ReplyDeleteGlad that there is no more disagreement when you chose to combine the both theme. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to start the month Elizabeth. I love your stitched strips of paper and how you used the newsprint not only as a your background (in part) but also as the tea cup and champagne glass. Very very nicely done. Happy November to you, and I'm looking forward to this new challenge. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI love your page, even though Bleubeard seems to be in a snit and has been so bossy!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun challenge this month and your page is perfect! Loving those paper that you used with the stitching and book pages 😊. Looking forward to joining you soon! Happy November! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteI love how you combine these two. I'm especially fond of collage art, and I never say no to food and drink ;)
ReplyDeleteThat Bleubeard! Great choice of theme I love a bit of collage fodder and i also like food. Love your pink page today!
ReplyDeleteYou and Bleubeard do a marvellous job!
ReplyDeleteMy first chance to say what a great theme and what an awesome start you have made too! You know I love when you add sewing to your pages! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! Glad you went with both!
ReplyDeleteSuper well done page too. Love the colors and the shapes out of book pages! Fun! Hugz
I am always impressed when I see you have included stitching on your page.
ReplyDeleteThanks to you and Bleubeard for the theme this month. Such a lot of scope for us to explore, I only hope I can do justice to each part eventually. You never know I might do the odd one that does not include Dylusion figures.
Love the cup especially, I like the way you have used the script sideways and the numbers edge the rim. It makes it look like a lacy pattern on a piece of china.
Have a lovely weekend
Hugs, Neet xx.
Wonderful inspiration for the new theme Elizabeth!
