This is paper cloth. Kelli Perkins, author of "Stitch Alchemy
" developed this method of gluing tissue paper, bits of paper to fabric; adding paint, ink and stitch to cloth. The end product can then be stitched up into a bag or pillow or hopefully a tiny dress. That's the plan I have for at least some of this paper cloth I made. After eyeing it for years, finally this book made it into my collection thanks to a damaged book sale. Wow, is it inspiring! Kelli's method of explaining is totally meshing with how I'm operating right now; not so many recipes and explicit directions, but plenty of examples and suggestions. If you are brand new to mixed media and don't know how some of the materials work or where to get them and want more concrete directions, this may not be the book to start with, but definitely add it to your list for later on. If you know some basics and want major inspiration, I highly recommend it right now!
(BTW, the "ingredients" in my paper cloth are: muslin, watered down tacky glue, pattern tissue, antique book pages, other book pages, Eco paint [tomato red= pink and pumpkin] mixed with gel medium, scraped Ranger Rainbow ink, sprayed mica ink, gesso stamped with a plastic bottle cap and machine stitching. So fun to play with!!!)
