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 Artiste. This 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.
...I find the term notions interesting.
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
Fabulous piece for Halle's Notions, reall good! Hugs!
Lovely page!
My goodness...all the notions. Fun that you were able to hit to challenges in one!
Those needle threaders are perfect for my old eyes! :)
What a brilliant page! I love the added safety pins and needle threader, and the stitching of course.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend Elizabeth,

These flow beautifully together. I like the feel of the notions.
Oh wow! Brilliant- more fantastic stitching too! Great take 'I've Got A Notion, hugs, Chrisx
I remember when every department store had a notions section. I miss them.
