Experimental - Marbling and Stitched Paper

I stuck torn bits of painted papers onto lutradur [or evolon?], then free machine stitched a bird. I drew the bird on the back and stitched it on the back which didn't work too well - the white shows through. The other stitching ie the plant I stitched topside which worked better.

I had some wallpaper paste left over from decorating so I did a bit of marbling, both on paper and fabric. Click on photo for closer look. They looked great straight after marbling but most of the colour washed off when I rinsed them, so not a very successful session. Some of it was poor choice of paints I think.
