Clayprints & Bundles

I have included these four photos to show my friend MM how I have altered or collaged ugly clayprints. While I have not been too successful finding a glue that binds things to the clay monoprints, I have used the sewing maching with great success.

The first photo is of a piece about 9x12 that I sewed hand dyed cottons by machine and then stitched hand felted bundles by hand with a little pearl button on top.

The following photos are close ups of the bundle.
