Welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday.
I decided to make this a twofer post after realizing that I had added some coffee themed tissue paper to my A Stitch in Time themed page for Art Journal Journey.
This page started out to be something completely different but as I continued adding paint and paper elements to the page it somehow evolved. I really need to take a cue from Eileen at The Artful Crafter and take photos along the way.
The substrate was a page from a book…lots of interesting imagery that I thought was driving my direction. I guess I took a sharp right, maybe a left…who knows. 
I just kept playing until my page spoke to me…and it said “follow your dreams”
I, of course, added fun and purposefully wonky stitching. I was turning the dial that controls the width of the zig-zag while sewing. It gave the stitching a really unique look.
Won’t you join me for A Stitch in Time?!?
This week is looking to be a hot one around here. I’m setting myself up with some indoor projects to work on.
These books are for a big project I’ve had in mind for years. I’m finally going to tackle it. There I said it…now I have to do it.
I also arranged and cleaned out my closet. I had several t-shirts that just had to go. 
I decided to tear them into t-shirt yarn. I’m thinking these will become a rag rug.
So many possibilities…
You are creative in so many ways. Love the collage art journal page! Curious about what your plans are for the books- gutting them perhaps for journals? I think I made a rag rug once- years ago just to try it but haven’t made one since. I’m sure with your skills yours will look fab. Happy T day!
I read Linda’s comment about the books. MY thought was you were going to get a math degree in grad school. I swear these could be some of the books I used in my undergrad classes in college. Yes, I’m your nerd friend with the math brain. I never took plane trig, though. I guess it’s not about higher learning after all (grin).
You are highly motivated this year, I guess. I’ve a friend who recently died who made rag rugs for a living, so these might make lovely colors that will work well together.
I really LOVE your latest journal page. It’s wonderful. And it really IS a great two-fer, too. Thanks for sharing it with us for T this Tuesday and thanks for another great and inspiring entry using your theme at Art Journal Journey, dear friend.
I really do like your artwork!
The book, though… Rudy Rucker´s Fourth Dimension still stares at me. The last chapter just is “out of my mind”!
I hope to see the finished rug!
A happy T-day to you.
Your journal page is fabulous, beautifully made. Have fun with your books, whatever you are planning with them. We used to knit rugs when I as teaching, the kids loved it. Have a great week, happy T Day, Valerie
Sounds like you summer no school time has been productive time. I just love today’s page. I think the paint just giving us a peek of what looks like interesting paper is perfect. And what a tease for your big project? Hmmm. You’ve caught my attention. Have a great T day Halle. Hugs-Erika
It’s another fabulous inspiration page for your AJJ theme Halle.
I am really curious to know that you will be doing with the books and the tee shirt yarn?
Happy T day wishes.

Tackling those projects that have been on the back burner for years is so satisfying :) Happy T Tuesday!
Lovely collage page, Halle. Doncha’ love twofers?
Can’t wait to see what your big project is. Perhaps you’re going to alter the book or maybe you want to study from them. A Rag rug is a good idea to recycle those old t-shirts.
Happy T-Day! Eileen xx
A beautiful journal page. I like the details and the lettering!I’m curious what the books will do! Have fun with the project
It will definitely be a great patchwork!
Greetings Elke
Hi I love your collage, I don’t usually plan an art project out I just go with the flow and see what develops. I think its more fun that way too
Tshirt rug sounds wonderful
Happy T wishes Kathy
Such a beautiful page! I love the stitching and teacups that you added – perfect ?. I’m really enjoying your theme at AJJ too! I was amazed at the yarn you created from the clothes, I hope you’ll share your tag rug with us too! Take care and Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
Your art piece is lovely. It looks like you’ve been busy this week. The books look good, but now I’m curious what project you’re tackling. :-) Happy T-Day!
Oh, I love the idea of a rag rug and want to learn how to do that! Fun. Love your journal page too. Love the words and bg plus who doesn’t love some tea/coffee! Great stitching too. Hugz
so much to love in this post! Brilliant idea to reuse tee shirts for knitting or crocheting. Really love your mixed media page too! and Holy Smokes is the new project involving math?!! I’m thinking altered books or bind your own journal with old book covers…? I will be interested to see what you do!
My you have been busy. What are you going to do with all those text book? Happy T Day
An awesome journal page. Lots to look at.
Have wonderful time xx
Your artwork is really lovely, I love all the stitching.
That’s a great idea to recycle old clothes for something useful, it all looks so colourful in the bag.
Happy belated T day

A great journal page. The coffee cup serviettes are perfect.
Hmmm, a new project eh? Somehow you don’t come across as wanting to dive into mathematics. Are you going to do some altered books perhaps?
And the rug is a fab idea. I look forward to seeing the finished product. Please take photos of the process. I am very interested how you do that.
I’m sorry I’m so late in commenting. I never got round to it.
Sending you hugs,
and a belated Happy T-Day!

So glad you followed your dreams and they led you to produce such a lovely piece of artwork. I adore that large splash of blue across the top.
Hugs and thanks for such a great theme

Fabulous journal page -loks like a dream of Summer days! Love the varied stitching! That pile of maths books is too scary for me to look at! I hope you are doing something arty with them!!
Great idea to tear up your T Shirts! Belated Happy T Day! Chrisx
