My paper and stitch collage is featured in Stitch magazine this month. It shows the step by step stages, from the inspiration and materials through to the finished framed embroidery. Its a new project especially for Stitch. This is an idea I first explored in my Seascapes book where I tear and layer paper as a base for freehand stitching. Take a look, its a great project for beginners
