I'm not sure if Archimedes would have approved of Math Books being used for embroidery but I love it. With her embroidery of a White Tree Jessica has turned the paper into a tree again, brilliant! Jessica has recently opened a shop appropriately named Paper and Stitch.
Thanks for the love!
ReplyDeleteCool idea! How do you get the paper wrinkle-free when embroidering on it?
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this look. Do you have to do anything special when stitching on paper?
ReplyDeleteMegan -- I've never had a problem with the paper wrinkling. The book I've been using is from the 1870s, and the texture is a little different than a regular book you'd pick up off the shelves today.
ReplyDeleteLinda J -- The two most important tips I can offer are 1. split your floss so you're using three or four strands, 2. be patient.
I've got a post over on my blog with some more details on the process:
Wow I am smitten with this blog so much creative stitching!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Jessica. I haven't tried but I guess you could iron wrinkly paper?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely stitchery!
