Embroidered Silk Paper

 Sandra had made a piece of silk paper using silk rods.  She thought it looked like papyrus and so she decided she would use it to make an ancient Egyptian piece. To support the embroidery, iron on interfacing was attached to the back. She has always loved the Egyptian geese so she painted them onto the paper and then embroidered  over the top, mainly in straight stitch. She then used a stamp to look like hieroglyphs.

The second piece of silk paper she had incorporated thistle seeds and so she painted a thistle over the top and then embroidered the picture.

Sandra said it was great fun doing these but you do need interfacing to support the stitching.

Thanks Sandra.
