Gesso backgrounds

Good Morning everyone. Well I had a lovely play day yesterday was lovely In the garden so I went outside to enjoy the fresh air, and I done some interesting backgrounds to use a s base for some embroidered books.I used stencils and gesso among other things . Then I painted them using some luminaire paints and also some fabric paints.
I'm hoping to do some book covers with the fabrics once I've stitched into it and added some beads.
