Creating more texture ...

Another opportunity to use some threads - different variegated, holographic, silk and plastic ... playing with differing stitch widths and rolling the upper and lower tension to alter how much (or little) of the bobbin thread became visible on the upper layer. There are endless variations ... Then to secure it all with a layer of fine tulle. Using black has the effect of allowing the viewer to see "into" the underlying mix, while using a light colour (in this case a pale pink) reflects more light and reduces the level of visual depth. This I learnt from the WMBM - who paints the very front wire of his aviary black to reduce reflection and giving a view into the entire aviary. Why wouldn't this work with textiles?  I do love the way the mesh adds another texture to the surface, and also protects the painted bread wrapper. Maybe some more stitching later on today .....
