Something a little different for you today. Well it is paper and I do put a lot of that on here too but I didn't want anyone to get bored looking at embroidery and cloth so I am trying to keep you awake as it where. These have been on here before in an earlier stage. Since then I have added hand stitch and pricking. I originally made these as stand alone sketchbook pages and wasn't sure what to do with them after that. They are comprised of machine stitched paper, collage and wrapped threads. I have a little stash of machine stitched paper, some from ages ago and I tend to make a little more when the machine is up for something else. I wasn't certain they were finished and coming across them again recently I decided I wanted to hand sew onto them so that is what I have done.
I'm not guaranteeing they are going to be finished before I go away but I had the urge to work on them last night and so far have added some French knots, some running stitch and some pricking along an edge. I know for sure that I won't be working on these tonight. Tonight I want to finish the bumpy section of cloth I showed you yesterday....hopefully you will see that tomorrow.

I love this stitch on paper. How about a class on that?
stunning, reminds me of lichen
I love how you have created that frilly looking edge.
How cool are these! Now, I must ask what kind of paper stands up to all those stitches?

Enjoy your bumpy section tonight.
I am so drawn to this type of work. You know how much I love it! I totally agree... how about a class showing these techniques? Have a good trip!
Ah so so pretty and delicate, totally dreamy!
bored, don't think that will happen
these, all the details, shapes, holes and more are wonderful to see.
What wonderful pieces! I hope you have a terrific trip. You're not coming to Philadelphia, are you?!?
I would love to meet you in person!! XXO-
Beautiful! It reminds me of sea spray or the foam that is left from the tide. Enjoy your bumps!
Some great textural work, love the way it works well together
love seeing your stitching on paper Karen. it virtually sends a shiver down my spine! lol
I hope you're having a blast on your trip! :)

Delightful and intriguing, Karen!
What!?! Bored with your cloth stitching??? Not ever likely, as you know. I'm addicted, I am......
I think your paper fragments would look stunning mounted in a frame on a black background (perhaps velvet?). That would be ever so stunning!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous Karen! :-D
