completing pages - trying white on black

Decided to see if white on black gave a dramatic effect to page 10 and made the spider stand out by embroidering it in gold and bronze thread. It took ages, but I was pleased with the result.
This is it in progress without the frightened But in the corner, who has yet to be baked!

before the spider had more layers and ends sewn in
 

With a brighter glistening spider. But will sit in the left hand corner



Also hand felted some colour on to page 12 where But is inside the matchbox. He still needs to be made for this picture as I overcooked him on Sunday in too high a temperature.

Page completed - media used pencil, pencil crayon, hand felting, free embroidery stitch
