Lesson 2 Mixed Media with Paper and Stitch
This is my paper collaged pelican on a post. I stenciled the shells and added some stamping. It is machined stitched and has some hand seeding stitch. The waves and fish are collaged paint on art tissue.
Lesson 3
Painted and stenciled background
Squares of fabric and paper circles and donuts glued down.
A layer of gesso over the whole background
Cut into 4 pieces reassembled and paper circles removed.
Fabric and paper Circle shapes added
Ready to assemble together
Reassembled with a zigzag stitch
Finished!
Close up below with hand and machine stitches. Embellished with beads. This was a very interesting project with great results!

Donna, I love the circles. All of the interesting layers and then the stitching and embellishing are beautiful. I hope I'll see it in person on Wednesday!
I do like the way that you have documented the steps of this lovely piece. That is one very contented looking pelican.
