Handmade Dyed Paper

I created these pieces by making my own paper, and dying it with berries in a heat press. This is where my patterns came from in my previous post! I then stitched the various papers together using straight stitch

As I had to use paper for these, I dyed them all and I think that this really transformed them and made the paper take on a new form. I then developed the project by producing similar structures but using fabric instead of paper. Here are the results!
