For more info: Tinsel Print
"Many prints also used fabric pieces and other additions (such as the plume of Mr Haines' helmet above). Prints with fabric are called "dressed prints"; this seems to have begun in 18th-century France as a hobby, mainly on devotional images. The same technique became popular for the smaller cut-out figures used in toy theatres, a craze of the period. A wide range of supplies for home-tinselling were available, or pre-tinselled figures could be bought."
Have any of you done Tinsel Print? What have you made?
It doesn't seem to be that popular as I can't find any recent videos on it. Do you think it's referred to as something else in today's era?
