There's progress with the paper pieces I have been working on recently. This one is finished...edged with circular, disc like beads. I embroidered silk and cotton cloth (which I put together myself ) with gimp, bullion loops and French knots. It just goes to show that having a stash of self made cloth comes in very handy.
I think the titivated cloth contrasts well with the minimalist paper piece in this one. A few French knots have been stitched to the mount, a finishing touch.
I'm having fun playing with paper like this. I'm working with bright, colourful pieces in class and this is a good way to balance that out, colour there (which excites me...my happy cloth), white here, not forgetting the pages which are being put together for little books.
