I want to begin by thanking Matilde for hosting in June. I really enjoyed the theme.
This month we have a new host, as we always do the first of the month. It is my dear longtime friend Halle of Halle's Hobbies. Halle is challenging us to think about Botanicals, which is her theme for this entire month of July. I now give you my interpretation of her theme.
For my first entry this month, I give you what I call Coneflowers (Echinacea). Detail images are below.
It's been awhile since I've sewed anything. I thought this would be the perfect time. As many of you long time visitors know, I only sew paper to paper or paper to fabric. I couldn't sew a straight line if my life depended on it and I have no desire to create anything that involves cutting or a pattern.I began by sewing vintage sheet music to 110 lb. cardstock using blue variegated thread. I added five different bits of foreign text, but two of them were covered with the coneflower packet. I also added the label and the other two pieces I found in my stash. I fussy cut a floral doodle I love to make and placed it over the seed packet. It was the only piece that wasn't sewn.
Please remember 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 the administrators) cannot leave comments on Facebook, TicTok, or Instagram entries. We do not allow cards!!! We also don't allow 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
