Of course, had to buy some beads, some packets of luscious fabrics, threads, book.
One book Stitch Alchemy shows a technique to create sheets of paper-cloth.
Basically, you put a piece of fabric on some freezer paper, slap some diluted white glue on it and cover it with strips of paper. The resulting sheet can be used to paint, stitch, embellish, cut..whatever.
I did 3 today.
#1: gold tissue paper and the handmade paper our washing came back in when we were in Bali many years ago plus some junk mail.
#2: a no longer required dressmaking pattern
#3: I used pastels to colour ordinary printing paper and added a paper serviette and some coffee crystals.
The sheets are about A3, but I could only scan part of them.

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to control where this pictures go.
What can I do with these sheets?
If I want to add stitching, these are nice and firm and need no further stabilizing.
Maybe I'll make some bookmarks? Some ATCs? acrylic paint?
