Ribbon Work Uncovered

I was cleaning out my work shop (I work for wool) : ) and uncovered a fun craft that I started last year, ribbon embroidery.    Its a beautiful art and very relaxing.  I use silk ribbon and embellishments and even watercolor for the backgrounds.   On the silk ribbon I use  permanent markers that can bring out a range of color plus shading and highlights.
These are some of my practice pieces along with a little bag I made.

This stand is perfect for holding embroidery hoops, even for painting. Its great when you want to watch a good movie and do artwork at the same time.  Or take it outside!

This is a small corner in my workshop that is used for sewing, embroidery, quilting, beadwork, tatting and a nice library on the side (not shown b/c the books are not neatly organized yet) that holds inspiring reference books and also my herb and gardening books.

It doesn't matter how small or large a workplace might be, as long as it inspires you to give things a try.   Don't do like I did and cover up your gifts!

Thanks for dropping by.   I got some wet felt pieces I did over the weekend that I plan to share soon!
