Wow, I am wrapped with how this turned out. Lots of different mediums used for this project. I actually dyed some of the cloths I worked with, I sparyed Glimmer Mist all over them, OMG I am in love with how the colours turns out... amazing!

Printed out my designs on canvas, glimmer misted, stamped, stitched, then bound everything together with sitches.

closeup of the ribbon work on my wedding purse

Please enjoy the closeup of the ribbon work on my wedding purse. I am self taught and I did not work from a pattern or a kit. I am blessed with the images of what I want to do on a piece and I can usually replicate what is in my mind's eye to my project.

Your comments and thoughts are always welcome.

My Wedding Purse

When I couldn't find the purse of my dreams I decided to make one. Believe it or not, this is the very first purse of this type I made and I was thrilled with the results. ALL the silk ribbon flowers work and beading was done my hand. I will post another closeup photo of the flower work. In the mean time enjoy the show!

Silk Sari Ribbon Journal

heathers3stars — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 05:31:41 GMT

This is a mixed-media art journal cover that I created using Silk Sari Ribbon. I quilted it onto black cotton muslin in vertical strips, then to add more texture and color variation I layered the ribbons, alternating smaller and wider widths. The block letters below which, of course, read "JOURNAL" are created using stamped canvas which is overdyed with diluted liquid acrylic paints, fabric art markers, and free-motion stitching. I created a looped fringe with the ribbon for the bound edge of the journal for more tactile interaction with the journal, and finished off the "Ribbon Quilt" with a sprinkling of hand-sewn beads.

My Timms

KalGal2 — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 18:39:40 GMT

I took liberty with a Ricky Timms convergence pattern and added silk flowers I bought at wal-mart. I took all the stems and leaves off of the flowers and sewed the flowers on with some beading. I added some of the leaves back on to create my own spring garden that I have hanging on my computer hutch in my bedroom. It lifts my spirits everytime I look at it. I thought it needed something in the open corner so I got a butterfly with a clip to add even more color and demention! I hope this little quilt brings you all some spring joy as well! Nancy

Experimental

Lesley@16 — Sat, 23 May 2009 10:47:33 GMT

Experimental piece. Base hand made felt (wet method). Tyvek, shreaded, knitted and crochet coloured with liquid acrylic, heat zapped, stitched in place. machine embroidered, hand embroidery and beads applied. The tassel I think is a waste of space and spoils the whole piece. Further images and the inspiration page from my sketchbook are on my profile page.
