Paper Cloth

 Paper cloth is made using a layer of fine fabric, PVA glue and tissue paper. Here I have used two colours of tissue paper, silver and pink. I stamped a cheap luggage tag cut the hole off and glued that down as well.  Added some paint and silver foil to finish




Here is a close up of the stamped tag.

Here is the final finished piece. I cut around the tag and stuck it to a card. I put a piece of silver ribbon down the left hand side.

I followed  the instructions from my new book Stitch Alchemy.  Really good fun, why not give it a go.

Play time usually happens when I try to tidy up my very small work room. I usually find something I had forgotten which distracts me from the reason I went into my room in the first place. In this case I received an email from Quilting Arts Mag with instructions on how to paint faces on fabric using shiva paintstiks. This is the result using only four of the six colours I possess. As I liked the result I think I need to invest in some more colours. I painted the picture on the right on pellon, cut it out and bond a webbed it to the fabric. The faint face on the left was an attempt to paint on bond a web and iron to the fabric, but as you can see, part of it peeled off.
