A few of my favourite papers, not new but revisited for inspiration. I am gathering these things around me, papers and lace scraps for little exercises in composition, sewing strips together, threading gimp across spaces and through holes in cloth, adding little stitches here and there along with beads and bells and buttons.
This type of exercise informs embroidery, the mix of pattern and surfaces. It will eventually lead to larger stitched works.....but not yet. I am having too much fun playing.
