In Stitches…

Posted on January 21, 2019 | 18 Comments

I’m having fun sewing on paper in my art journal and adding collage papers.

I can only sew in one direction since my journal is bound but I like the challenge it adds:

I start by gluing a piece of paper randomly on a page that I explained more about here: It’s A Splash!

Since the stitching is on BOTH SIDES of the paper, one side is a total surprise:

These paper collages are keeping me in stitches! I enjoy using two different colors of thread, one for the bobbin and one for the top stitch… they add an unexpected color surprise! And each collage is unique!

What have you created or discovered this last week that brought you unexpected joy? I hope you share it with me!

Cheers! 🙂

Wow, isn’t it tricky trying to machine sew in your journal? The result sure is fun though, looks fabulous! I have been finding joy in fresh flowers lately as our weather has been so cold and dreary!

  Thanks Sharon, I hope to create more of these collages with my sewing machine… I will post some tomorrow that I printed on the Gelli-plate after I sewed on them. They turned out really cool! 😎
