A Stitch in Time Saves Nine - Challenge



This is my piece for the Artful Times Challenge which is "Sewing". Now if that Challenge title does not give you lots of scope I don't know what will.  You can papercraft something, journal it, use fabric, do some embroidery - anything your little heart desires to do.

I originally decided I would actually make something with fabric and then time ran out.  So here I am with a journal page.  I have had this dressmaker's dummy with the utee (plus some mica powder to give it colour) ready for something for simply ages.  What an opportunity this challenge gave me to make something.  Paper tickets, paper packets, paper lace and a paper tape measure - a bit of Honey and Rusty Hinge Distress Ink and there we are.

Hoping you join in with us, pop along to either Wendy's blog for her lovely book page or to Artful Times to see her page and then join in. We would love to see your entries.  Remember to abide by the rules and guidelines above to be in with a chance to win in our monthly prize giving of a £10 voucher for Oyster Stamps.
