Kia is out hostess and she has picked Ethan Allen. I found this piece of plain fabric that reminded me of the printable canvas paper that I have. https://www.ethanallen.com/en_US/sho...5.html#start=1
I added a bug made from handmade paper.

I was at a quilt show last week and this looks just like a wool embroidered applique piece. I'd put a some award ribbons next to it! Genius, Denise, using handmade paper. Fav'd

A wonderful sense of handcrafted texture in your canvas inspired bug, and the combination of handmade paper, stitched details, and layered materials creates a rich, fabric like effect that feels artistic and unique.
Oh my goodness, Denise, this is sensational! Who knew bugs could be so beautiful! I love the texture and frame of the panel you placed it on! Using your handmade paper took him up several notches!
