Before taking Susan Sorrell's class Fertile Earth at
www.joggles.com , I'd printed the photo I took of mushrooms on fabric. It sat for several years, because any of the stitches I tried still made the piece look flat.
Her class taught me to layer sheers, cheesecloth, and net on the background before stitching. It really gives the piece more depth.

oh my gosh Sandy, this is awesome! they really pop off the surface - the piece has a very 3d effect.
The layering has added so much to this piece, they really stand out now
They do have lots of depth!
Your layers do the trick, but the dark to light transition in your stitches also gives them depth.
What a beautiful piece Sandy. You must be delighted.
Fabulous Sandy---the stitching on the mushrooms is perfect.
