Notions

 

I have another spread for Halle from Halle’s Hobbies, our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  Her theme, as you likely know by now is I've got a notion.   I'm also joining Andree, her team, and this month's guest designer Michelle again at Creative ArtisteThis is challenge #106 and is always Anything Mixed Media Goes.

I give you my concept of Notions.  Below are detail shots.








I started this entry by gluing dressmaker's tissue to the substrate.  Once dry, I sewed the "notions" to the page using blue variegated thread.  I then adhered the red twill tape to the page.  When dry, I added the blue rick rack left from a previous project.  At the bottom of the page, I added three gold safety pins and a silver threader.  I computer generated the word "Notions."

Creative Artiste requires a minimum of three different mediums.  I have dressmaker's tissue, blue variegated thread, twill tape, rick rack, gold safety pins, a threader, and a computer generated word.

Bleubeard and I are extremely grateful you dropped by today and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey and Creative Artiste.

WONDERFUL. I rely on those needle threaders now. Shaky hands and eyes.

That's a really cool page. Will you take notions off at some time in the future to use them again? I ask only because they seem so useful on other pages, but then again, sometimes it's good just to use them. hugs-Erika

A gorgeous page full of fabulous textures Elizabeth. Your notions remind me of looking through my grandmother's sewing basket as a child. The ric rak and machine stitching are wonderful added details.
Thank you for joining in with our July challenge "Anything Mixed Media Goes" at Creative Artiste Mixed Media. Good luck! x

I remember when every department store had a notions section. I miss them.
