June Journal Word
A new month means a new word for the month. I decided upon the word sacred. I guess I should have looked up the dictionary meaning before choosing it. The dictionary's meaning centres around religion and doctrine. Neither of which I am a fan of. Don't get me wrong, I am a deeply spiritual woman but I have some issues with dogma etc. We won't go down that rabbit hole. Sacred means something else to me and I will continue to work with this word.
Back to the art. I printed out the word to use as a pattern. It tucked said pattern into a page protector. I applied acrylic medium to form the letters and then sprinkled cut up sparkly thread onto it. Once dry, I was able to remove the letters from the page protector. The letters then needed a haircut. I am pleased with the letters. This challenge has been a stretch and I am enjoying that.
I love the background fabric that I created but I am thinking that it is not working well with these letters. I need to go digging through my stash. It should not be difficult to come up with a better option. Once I find the right fabric I can stitch down the word.

Wow, I find it hard enough to come up with a word for the year, never mind every month. Very interesting technique; I'm always looking for ways to use up thread that does not like to go through a machine.
