I know, I know...I said I'd finish that beaded shawl first,
but the French silk ribbons were calling me.
I couldn't concentrate. I tried to resist, but I just couldn't.
but the French silk ribbons were calling me.
I couldn't concentrate. I tried to resist, but I just couldn't.
I ran my fingers through the ribbons and selected shades of soft pink, seashore blue, earthtone, white and sand...
and then I started to manipulate and stitch them to buckram.
I added a milliner's bow in champagne duppioni silk, and thena few velvet leaves and buds...and created this combination to be
used to embellish a new project I've been working on in my head.
The soft cotton candy pink ribbon became a large rose, and I hid clusters of sand and earthtone blossoms with
sparkling beads beneath its petals. There will be more to this one
before it's finished, but for now I'm happy with its sweet beginnings...
Ribbons in soft, sultry colors make my heart sing. Just like sending a Valentine to myself.
Resisting these ribbons is like resisting chocolate.These ribbons make me weak in the knees.
I just couldn't resist.
I think I need to come visit you for lessons. Just beautiful my friend. Yummy better than chocolate. Sharon
