Oh I saw those ribbons & I too wanted to swoon. I am a ribbon, fabric, lace & button junkie!!!! I am going to make a pair of MERMAID JEANS for my upcoming Art Event in July & I want to do a ribbon festooned belt & when I saw you photos I thought... YEP that's what I want. Glad to see you & I are STILL on the same page!!!! HUGS to you my friend. Charlene
Hello sweet Violet - I'm a new follower of your fabulous blog via The Inspired Room! Thank you for sharing your ribbon collection - I too adore them. My fave are the whites.
I'd love for you to come by for a visit - having a giveaway through tonight! http://emmacallsmemama.com/2010/05/bff-giveaway/
I'm inspired by a re-organized craft room where I can actually FIND and get into stuff! Thanks to a certian someone who writes a certain blog called Create Beauty.... ;)
And by my finished quilt...
And those stupid BBQ Costco Sized potato chips that are sitting next to me once again. =P
VIOLET DEAREST!!! Is this the ribbon from the dentist visit?!In the first photo, do I see hand-dyed silk ribbon? Do you know how hard that is to find? LOVELY dearest, just lovely. What fab things do you have in mind with this fun ribbon?!
Sorry I am so late, I was exhausted last night after posting; thank you for coming by dear one.
In case anyone wonders about Anita's comment about if the ribbon is from my visit to the dentist, (no, he does not give out ribbon to good patients : ) . . . but there is a fabric store next door to his office where I reward myself with some lengths of ribbon after my dental visits.
I had planned to work in my studio most of the day yesterday but by the time I did some 'house stuff' I decided to go out for some home-made soup and bread at a local tea shop, bringing along a couple of mixed media books to inspire me for the afternoon. I stopped in a shop and came home with 3 more different ribbons, so it was indeed a day inspired by ribbon!
And I actually used some of it in some flower pins I am making.
RIBBON! so pretty!!! (commenting once again in my own comment section.... LOL! ~ Violet
well, my inspirations today involve finding your blog through Anita's blog! and i must say, I'm happy to know a fellow artist! i'm now following you...
and i hope you'll stop in to see what I'm working on in my studio today!
to answer you question...those doilies in particular, are sewn on using a sewing machine...
however when I do need to glue a doily onto paper, which i have done countless times.... i use the famous 'tacky glue' from Michael's craft store! it's works very well!
ciao bella do come again, after feeding the dogs, of course!
Hi, just got your comment..fellow book page sniffer! lol
ummm...i'm not finished the first book yet, but to be honest the writing is simple, but good, the story weaving is alright...
but I'm not liking all the 'cheating' in the book...infidelity...not big on my list of favourites! so, i'll finish it to see if they all come to their senses, .....
Other books...
The Penny Tree The Wedding Circle of Grace A New Leaf
Long Strands of Color
