Semi-Challenge - First Page

I decided to do a book and this is the first page. Finished.

Adding details:


Not happy with the contrast...:


I sew the squares to a dyed cheese cloth. I punched it to some paper. 


I added more contrast to the piece with couching and these stitches:



Now I'm happy. I put some tulle underneath and more paper:



I sew it to these layers...


Front


Back, painted with white acrylic paint:


Added one more layer of tulle to the back and sew everything together so that you can turn the page of the book when the piece is finished:



Surface texture:




Contrast before and after:





I'm always asked how I plan a piece. I hope this semi-challenge is the answer. I began with an idea and added to it. I can't keep the same concept for 3 months... I always get more ideas and the piece speaks to me all the time.

Now I will continue with page 2...
