One or two detailed close-ups would have been helpful here, I think! Almost all the extension lines were done with tiny dots in black Pitt pen since the fine quality I was after couldn't be achieved on paper with stitch. <br />Your frog tape suggestion is most helpful and I will buy some to try next week. The thought of using staples to anchor the photos is especially interesting - perhaps on slightly larger photo croppings so they don't dominate the images.Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-38581682395067179612016-02-04T21:52:29.375+00:002016-02-04T21:52:29.375+00:00It is difficult to see details, but the piece cert...It is difficult to see details, but the piece certainly looks dramatic. Could you use frog tape to keep the photos in place on the backing paper until you have stitched through? I have found that frog tape works on watercolour paper without lifting it when you pull it off.<br />Another effect that can work if you are using industrial-looking photos could be to employ staples perhaps as part of the design. Happy sampling! Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.com
