What if I take a piece of terylene curtaining fabric with embroidered flowers and needle felt through it -
On the front the embroidered threads just chopped up, but I liked this piece best - worked from the back of the fabric the embroidery merged nicely as the wool pushed through to the front of the fabric, and framed the one flower that was not felted.
and here is a very easy way of adding texture to paper,
paint a layer of gesso onto paper then rubber stamp into the still wet gesso.
Best with a large stamp without too much fine detail, here I used stamps that I had carved into erasers.

both great ideas. i thought gesso was white - did you mix paint with it, or paint over the the dried, stamped gesso?
sorry Paula, I should have mentioned this, gesso is white, I painted over it when dry with acrylic, then touched over that with metallic Lumiere paint
I recently made few simple stamps, so I'll have to try out that gesso trick. Thanks for sharing.
thanks Fioleta
