Pretty as a picture

One of my summer projects is to produce an online workshop for the Distant Stitch website. My first workshop which I am just finishing is ‘Decorated Papers, with a demonstration video and an accompanying manual. All good fun to do –especially the video! There is a gallery of finished pieces at the end and I am including images of how these decorated papers could be used for different crafts. I thought that Carrie might be amused to see how well her stitched images (given as part of my precious Summer School ‘gift’) looks framed by one of them. I used a little wooden Indian block to print this paper using bleach on a previously inked and salted paper. I thought the decorated paper and the stitched image worked so well together. I hope Carrie will allow me to use this image in the workshop.
