I think it added some depth to the piece and made the flowers or feathers look more natural. I def wasn't exact about cutting it either, just eye-balled it like they demonstrated. Was wondering if you could share a post on how you finish your pieces. I've been using double-sided fusible interfacing to create appliques, but I feel like it's too bulky. Appreciate any suggestions you might have! Love your work! Absolutely breathtaking! http://piranhabella.blogspot.com/Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908104198213592021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301412146610576280.post-80499378621277637182011-07-25T04:13:23.610-07:002011-07-25T04:13:23.610-07:00superbe j aime ce que tu fais bisesssssssssssuperbe j aime ce que tu fais bisessssssssssemmaoljuhtp://feutrinesetpiqueaiguilles.over-blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301412146610576280.post-25185300955157058932011-07-24T17:58:45.075-07:002011-07-24T17:58:45.075-07:00Just Beautiful.
