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.
ReplyDelete...I find the term notions interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat'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
ReplyDeleteA 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.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in with our July challenge "Anything Mixed Media Goes" at Creative Artiste Mixed Media. Good luck! x

ReplyDeleteThose needle threaders are perfect for my old eyes! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant page! I love the added safety pins and needle threader, and the stitching of course.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful weekend Elizabeth,

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