Embroidered Collage

I ordered a stack of water-themed papers from http://hand-madepapers.us recently and they've been peeping out from a large folder near my desk for awhile now.  They're meant for going with the development of a long-term modular piece, but I've been itching to play with them.

So last night I did.  I pulled them out and just improvised.  This is what I came up with.  At the moment I"m thinking this will become a 6x6 and not be saved for a modular work, but then it definitely needs more layers.  I also added leftover bits of paper to backgrounds for some atcs, but I'll show those later, after I develop them.  I enjoyed getting to play.  I love the feel of hand-made paper and it melds so nicely under acrylic medium.
