I made this background using a couple of sheets of vliesofix, calico, napkins, angelina fibres and watered down acrylic paint. Once completely dry I machine sewed the grid using both straight and zig zag stitch.
I used all sorts of embellishments to decorate each of the squares. These included stamped Angelina fibres, beads, sequins, alterations dies, skeleton leaves and painted tyvek.


Oh wow, Sam. I absolutely love this. The embellies look great on the background. I'm going to have to play tomorrow. :o)
