I've been experimenting with cutting my prints into slices and filling the space with hand and free machine stitch. This first one was done on paper. It's very fragile. I used water-soluble stabiliser to work the stitches, unfortunately once the paper was damp it started to disintegrate. I covered the whole thing in pouring medium to hold it together. It's nice to stick it up on a window and see the light shine through.
I've also tried using a print on fabric, cutting into it, and filling the gaps with stitch. I used some thicker threads in the bobbin for extra texture. I'll keep stitching into it later.
