Home Sweet Home Challenge

 This is my entry to the Cloth Paper Scissors challenge, Home Sweet Home.

I used fabric collage and hand embroidery for all the details.

 This close up shows the paper doors and windows. I embroidered around each shape to make it look sketchy.

My favourite side with wisteria fgrowing on the walls.

La Maison de Fleur.

 I sent it off to the Cloth Paper Scissors offices after I made the finalist list.

  I hope it will be featured in their magazine.

This was a fun little project for sure! Opps a little fluff on the left side.
