Larger Ribbon!!

By Job, I think I've got it!
I think I've figured out how to get a more dimensional look to the ribbon embroidery! 
Use larger ribbon!
I ordered 13mm to try, and what a difference it makes!


The buds, petals, stems and leaves stand up right off the fabric!
You notice all the detail on each piece so much more, too.

This piece was made with 4mm and 7mm ribbon.
Lots of detail, but it doesn't stand off the fabric as much.


These two pillows are an idea I came up with last week.
Since I do lavender sachets...why not do some with lavender designs?
Not much to look at....but a cute idea.
Happy Tuesday to you!

  6. Your work is just beautiful! I'm thinking it's an expression of the heart. Putting yourself into it as you create. Homemade and handmade are things we don't see much of these days. They are keepsakes for sure.
