Round and Round

 
I want to begin by thanking Matilde from 100% Handmade/Craftowanie for doing such a wonderful job with her What Makes You Happy theme.  I wish I could have played more because her theme certainly made me happy. We definitely want Matilde to host again.

Halle from Halle’s Hobbies is our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  Her theme for the entire month is I've got a notion.  She wants to see sewing, real or faux, or things that pertain to sewing.  She provides a great deal of information on the Art Journal Journey blog.

For lack of a better term, I'm calling this Round and Round.  I have included several detail shots.

My plan is to create a journal I will sew together at the end of July.  I started this page by adhering dressmaker's tissue to the page, which is 5 X 8 in (127 X 203 mm).  Once dry, I sewed a gifted library card to a seam binding wrapper I had in my stash.  I adhered that assembly to the page using a dry adhesive (The Ultimate).  I used the same adhesive to affix the yo-yo that was gifted me by our host this month, my dear friend Halle.  I then added the rick rack to the bottom using more adhesive.

Halle, Chris, Erika, Valerie, Bleubeard, and I are delighted you joined us and hope to see you this month at Art Journal Journey as you share your own interpretation of I've got a notion.

 

We welcome art journal pages that meet the theme requirements, altered book pages, canvases, loose, or stand alone pages including fabric and digital art.  I (and some of the administrators) cannot leave comments on Facebook or Instagram entries.  We do not allow cards, tags, index cards, ATCs, or ATCoins, unless they are part of a journal page, and as much as we don't want to, will be forced to delete your entry.  Please remember if your blog is not in English, we ask that you translate it for us since the translation tool doesn't work on some blogs, including mine.  Hope to see you and your notions soon at Art Journal Journey.   

 

I also want to wish all my Canadian friends a very beautiful Canada Day.  Although it is often called Canada's birthday, it is much more than that, as any Canadian will tell you.
