It took me some time to decide how to use the
chained cross stitch, but when I found a lovely vintage picture I knew what to
do.
After making the holes I stitched chained cross
stitches with rayon thread.
Then I glued the picture on page 60 of my altered
book, which was already painted with watercolour paint. Page 61 is painted with
acrylic paint. I added a matching Dutch text and tangled Nipa.
Take a closer look at this spread here.
Really great idea! I love how you've used the stitch. Have you done other pages like this and I've missed seeing them?

Thank you, Diane! I stitched a floral spray in the same book last year, you can see it here:
