Stitch and draw

I have been drawing on damp Arches paper and then stitching through and onto silk.The paper smells very oddly of animal size when it is wet-primeval.
This one is 'Mrs Rochester's Daughter.' She didn't have a daughter I don't think as she was denied most things, but this is her lovely dark and light contrejour girl who carries a black sun. She is an atavistic creature, a citizen of the world.
I kind of hate  Mr Rochester so I hope this girl will grow up to disgrace him some more.
