Distressed leaf
I had a wonderful time the other night. A friend invited myself and another friend to her home to teach us a technique she had learned from Judy Farrow. We traced a leaf onto copy paper, layered it with sheer fabric and then stitched the outline and veins. We went over our stitching a few times so that it would have a sturdy edge. We then painted the paper leaf and took away any excess paper from the outside edge. We burned away the fabric with a heat tool. I also tore away some of the paper that formed the leaf to make it more distressed. Then added some angelina fibres. I really enjoyed learning the technique. My mind is a spin with how I can us it!
