The Japanese paper sounds lovely to stitch on - I've not tried it but must do so. Thank you.<br />....

And thank you for sharing the link to Helen's work--inspirational!<br /><br />You asked if I had done more stitching on monoprints, and the answer is, "Not much yet". I'd hoped to do more but the stiffness and thickness of the paper on which I'd printed makes it fairly hard on my hands. As it develops, I'll try to post photos. There is some lighter weight Japanese paper waiting on my work table that has some potential, too.Cindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13693772221663180784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-32743647479338173532013-09-28T22:37:31.994+01:002013-09-28T22:37:31.994+01:00I found Helen Parrott via an ad from Amazon for he...I found Helen Parrott via an ad from Amazon for her book - they know their market!<br />Difficult to say how her work and the activities in the book will influence me - I never know till it happens and I find myself using something I've <br />read about.<br />Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-28904666286499982442013-09-28T21:11:39.621+01:002013-09-28T21:11:39.621+01:00Thank you for introducing me to Helen's work -...Thank you for introducing me to Helen's work - quite inspirational.

The quote also struck me as essential. I just bookmarked Helen Parrott's book too, thanks for the tip.
