Ribbon work anyone?
I had not really ever paid much attention to things like ribbonwork.
BUT, I have a friend who owns "the bead ranch" here in OK and on the months that have a 5th Sat. she hosts a come and PLAY DAY at her studio.
Well, I finally gave in and drove down there. BOY, am I glad that I did. Not only did I get to spend some great time out in the country with my friend, but I got to learn something new!
Sherrill does crazy quilting, soft doll making, heavy embellishing stuff! She sells beads, fibers, etc.
SO, yesterday we learned how to take any old ribbon and turn into flowers, or trims!
I managed to make a 3 part flower, and some pretty trim! I want to use them to make a new special name tag for guild meetings now!
It was interesting to learn about all the different ribbons, and what will/won't work. Which thread is best to use, etc. I see hours of FUN time ahead now!
Anyone here do this type of work?
I am looking for books, instruction sheets, etc...BUT, I am not having any luck really. Silk ribbon embroidery keeps coming up and this is Not done like embroidery!
Pix will be posted as soon as I can!
