Thursday Journal with Neet

 I am in Cornwall on holiday this week, so I am hoping I can get on my blog during this time. The words this week are " So much to do, and so little desire to do it"and this will be the last page to post on my theme of vintage on Art Journal Journey. I have inked over a previous background with distress inks and stamped some sewing patterns on top. I stamped the dress form, lace and sewing machine on card and adhered them to the page. The figure is a Dylusions one. Astrid is all togged out in her favourite fifties type dress and so wants to make another one. She has the fabric, and the sewing machine. What she doesn't have is the incentive to do it, or a nice sewing pattern. Astrid also has her mum to look after as she has just come out of hospital, and her young sister living with her until their mum is well enough to have her back home. Her garden is full of weeds and she is way behind with the housework. She has just sat down with a cup of coffee and as usual is telling herself off "So much to do - so little desire to do it"

Art Journal Journey - Vintage

 My hosting of Art Journal Journey is nearly finished and this is one of the last two. I have ready enjoyed going vintage for this month, it's not something I do very often now.




Art Journal Journey - Vintage

 One of the last ones for this month on my vintage theme on Art Journal Journey  This one started off with a digital background that I collaged over parts of it. I added some flowers, fabric and vintage buttons.

Art Journal Journey - Vintage

 

Another sewing one for my vintage theme on Art Journal Journey. An old sewing pattern for the background and lots of images stamped onto the background. I stamped the dress form and button advert on separate card. I wound some thread around a card bobbin. The scissors are a die cut, as are the buttons.

Art Journal Journey - Vintage

 

Oh dear, I hope he answers all the letters she keeps sending him while he is abroad working. She has pressed some flower petals from the last flower he bought her and has kept the one postcard he sent after he arrived ! The page is distress inked with water sprayed on top. I stamped some corners and some French script and included a letter already to be sent off. This is another entry for my vintage theme on Art Journal Journey

Art Journal Journey - Vintage

Another vintage sewing page for my vintage theme on Art Journal Journey. A bit more colour on this one. The background is an old sewing pattern and I have added a dress form, ephemera and some stamped images. The little coat hanger is thin wood and there are fabric samples hanging on it.

Art Journal Journey - Vintage

This chap is an entomologist and has studied butterflies, moths and other insects for many years. He looks very dapper for a scientist. This is another entry for my vintage theme on Art Journal Journey. A distress inked background with several script stampings and a butterfly stamp background. I cut out several butterfly images and field labels to finish it off.
