My fingers all dyed with colors too .


Sewed all the left out fabric pieces .
Like puzzling back the missing piece

All the pages are stitches together using embroidery thread.
A bit tough to align straight as the fabric is too soft.

Love the blending effect .....the colours was 'free flow' all the pages
