I'm back today with another spread for Halle from Halle’s Hobbies who is hosting this month at Art Journal Journey. Her theme for the entire month is I've got a notion.
I've entitled this Stretch for reasons that will be evident in the detail below.
I rotated the message so you wouldn't have to turn on your side to read it.
I've been using dressmaker's tissue from this package, and decided to scan and print it so you could see where I got the focal image. I had planned to use two images, but after fussy cutting the first, I decided one image was enough.
I started by adhering dressmaker's tissue to a substrate using The Ultimate adhesive. As mentioned, when dry, I fussy cut the focal image and stood him on some tissue tape I thought went well with the spread.Bleubeard and I are quite pleased 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.
Another clever take.
ReplyDeleteI loaded down a pic to print out to remind me to STRETCH!
ReplyDeleteIt shows a woman that does not and one who does - what a difference!
Clever approach, we need to stretch (I should get back to yoga, but, ohhh, the lazyness!)
...sports wear is the rage.
ReplyDeleteI love those old dressmakers’ patterns with the sketches of imaginary humans wearing the garments that you were supposed to make. I had a huge box of them in the attic for years but finally threw it out in some cleaning frenzy. I could never make the clothes with stretchy fabric because my sewing machine was too old, and didn’t have the right capability.
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
It's fun to see old patterns. I love the guy with the tennis racket on the pattern cover. I suppose some day those styles will be back (and I did see someone running with an old head band the other day). And of course patterns always work great for making a cool background. Fun word for the day too. Happy weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI love this!!! Pattern paper provides such awesome texture for art journaling. Love the pun as well.
ReplyDeleteNice use of the patterns, Elizabeth. They do make for wonderful vintage looking collage elements and you rocked it!
ReplyDeleteA good reminder for me. What I was told to do at urgent care yesterday because of knee and hip pain from inflammation of tendons due to old age. Deep sigh.
ReplyDeleteCreative page.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a pattern from the 70s maybe. Fussy cutting...yes, one was enough--lol! Not my favorite thing to do. Cute take on stretch. :)
ReplyDeleteYour cretive page brings memories of the style from some decades back 😃
ReplyDeleteStretching is needed in my age, and I've a video of 30 minut "Dance of Dragon", and I'm stretching with it once a week 🧘♀️
Happy Sunday to you Elizabeth 😘🐈
I wear stretchy clothes but mainly in the wintertime, and I can't sew well enough to make my own clothes.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun page using the old sewing pattern! I'm impressed with your fussy cutting too 😊. Take care and happy weekend! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteGreat page Elizabeth! I love that vintage paper pattern.
ReplyDeleteThis is so good.
ReplyDeleteI remember those Butterick patterns :)
All the best Jan
Those sewing patterns sure take me back!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the theme! We still wear stretch jeans here.
ReplyDeleteI am not at all surprised you gave u after fussy cutting one of those figures. Enough is enough.
ReplyDeleteGreat page and playing to your strengths with this challenge. I half expected to see some machine sewing but instead we got a pattern and it looks fabulous. Great idea and fits in so well with 'stretch'.
Hugs, Neet xxx
What a brilliant page. I love the way the image is added to the pattern. A great addition to Halle's AJJ theme, hugs, Chrisx
