Cloth, strips of silk, lace and silk velvet. This is one of the pieces I have put together to accompany my paper embroidery and is now ready to be attached to paper and mounted onto a white background. The softness of the silk velvet makes it wonderful to work with and it takes gimp beautifully, as if one was made for the other. A beaded edge has been added to this, to compliment beads present in the paper piece it will live alongside.
Meanwhile.....a couple of images which show progress with paper that I don't think you have seen before.
