As most of you know, whenever possible, I like my Second Look to somehow reflect what our current host at Art Journal Journey is featuring. That means I had to look for something with Numbers, which was chosen by our host this month, Matilde from Craftowanie. Most of the regular visitors are familiar with my choice today because I showed it on February 16, 2022 when Bleubeard and I hosted with our What's Your Style? theme. I share it now in its entirety. It is called By the Numbers.
so I decided to scan it.I have created a few detail shots to share.
This is
what happens when math flash cards meet watercolors and stitch. It had
been far too long since I put my sewing machine to use and I wanted to
rectify that by sewing these altered flash cards together. Each flash
card was painted using various watercolors. Some were stamped with
various images and/or numbers.The
words were computer generated and sewn using blue variegated thread.
The cards were sewn using lavender variegated thread. Bits of numbers
tape were added at the end. I used addition, multiplication, division,
and subtraction flash cards in this journal entry.
Bleubeard and I
are delighted you joined us and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of What's your style? which for us today is all about watercolors and sewing.

That is an intricate and beautiful piece. I am glad to see it in its entirity.
Love the rainbow of bright colors! :)
Wonderful piece, colourful and fun! I will link to 2nd on the 2nd tomorrow. I was out with a friend yesterday and I am still absolutely exhausted, need to rest. Hope you are feeling well, hugs, Valerie
I love this piece. It doesn’t look familiar to me although it should!!!! Maybe the time zone change has messed up my brain grin. I’ll be back next month with second on the second. I hope June has started off well. Hugs Erika
Beautiful colors and I love how one can find new numbers browsing through your work!
...all of these numbers add up!
I linked to one of the first posts I ever wrote, about good and bad issues of food. Most of what I said then is still pretty much the way things are now.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I am loving this so much! what a great way to put these pieces together. I might have to look for some bits that could work like this rather than binning them. Have a great weekend. Hugs, Angela xXx
I really love this colourful page Elizabeth.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Blogger still seems to be trying to decide who I can send comments to! I had to put my old tablet on charge again before I could comment here. I love this page Elizabeth- I remember it and love it so much. Brilliant colours and as always I love the stitching you do on your pages! Hugs,
Colourful!
Great colors in this.
Colourful craft with numbers. Have a great week.
That looks so cool. Very creative.
This is gorgeous and I’m so glad you picked this one as I don’t remember it.
