Today I am beginning a silk-ribbon-embroidered picture which I plan to give to my sister for her birthday. I was pleased when I discovered that a large bag of silk ribbon I'd ordered had arrived.
I sewed the background onto muslin -- taffeta moiré, silk jacquard, and re-embroidered lace. I've roughed in some of the first stitches I'll make with my disappearing ink pen... ironed a few strands of ribbon... pawed through my supplies... and am ready to begin. The new ribbon is in all colors of the rainbow. I actually prefer using white and then dying it with my Letraset Promarkers, but I couldn't pass up the smashing bargain a lady offered me for all her ribbon.
