artJOURNALING fridays: stitched collage

happy art journaling FRIDAY!! I've been teaching all day at my studio..this weekend is my COLOR + journal LOVE retreat..lots of painting fun going on! We're spending the weekend creating handmade journals. Today, I have a throwback technique and creative jumpstart based on art journals I created back in 2010. The photo above is the cover of the journal.

art journal IDEA: create a stitched collage cover-----> rummage through your hand painted stash and photos/images, grab 4-5 pieces then layer them onto a painted page. attach them by machine stitching. mix found papers and black & white copies of your artwork or images. create a number of stitched pages then bind the into a handmade journal. this is a great way to use up all those pieces in your stash. to see more of this art journal collection visit here

happy creating & stitching...have a FAB weekend! xoxo~treic

Hi, Traci! My art journal entry this week had to do with the importance of sharing love during a meal, no matter how simple it may be. I also shared some other pieces I've worked on for Valentine's day. I'd love to hear what you think about it. Blessings!

I love your color choices and how the thread really adds a sense of movement to each one of these.
