Fabric Paper Collage.
















To make fabric paper you cover a sheet of fabric (ie calico ) in pva glue then cover with scraps of paper to make a collage.
Include things like dried leaves and flowers.
Cover again in pva and then tissue paper either scraps or a whole sheet which looks good if scrunched.
To bring your collage together cover in a wash of watered down paint.

Leave to dry overnight if possible then you can collage on top.
I have sewn buttons lace and ribbon on top and added a picture.

I also burnt around the edge to age it.

This is fab Linda, I love it - I did a lot of needlework and quilting before I got involved in papercraft and so love mixing the two like this!. Perhaps I feel a swap coming on?
