Silk Ribbon Embroidery and Silk Ribbon:

And linking with Inspiration Avenue's Weekly Challenge Day of the Dead
from Lou Anne at Inspiration Avenue's Weekly Challenge Day of the Dead:
In Mexico, this holiday takes place on the first and second of November. People take two days out of the year in order to pay their respect to their dead family members and friends. During this celebration, skulls and altars are made, food is placed on graves, and families and friends celebrate the lives of departed children and adults. I really hope that you'll create something this week as a response to El Dia de los Muertos. Whether it's the holiday itself, the Halloween-like feel of the skeletons, or the bright colors that inspire you, I'm looking forward to seeing your creations.
Inspirational embroidery Nancy! I love the little house sampler best I think! But those silk ribbon flowers are gorgeous too especially the sweet peas. So glad you liked my slipper post - the pattern is very straightforward and easy to adapt to your own size and chosen yarn / hook I found.. E x
ReplyDeleteWow. Those are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThese examples are great. I found the first real interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful work. I enjoy embroidery. I've only done the ribbon roses once but would love to do something else with them.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy! I had seen that pretty two story house on Pinterest. I love it! I am SO rusty when it comes to embroidery. Are you busy doing some stitching?
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous! I love how the texture of embroidery can change a whole project. I've actually been attempting to sneak some into my weaving. Thanks for sharing these inspiring projects.
ReplyDeleteOh so much beauty:) Have a blessed day dear Nancy, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteThe little house is very sweet! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteWow. I love embroidered clothing but aside from that was not a fanof enbroidery but now ai just might be?
ReplyDeleteGreat post Nancy. I`ve not attempted silk ribbon embroidery. The Day Of The Dead embroidery is beautiful. All your examples are inspiring. Hope you are having a wonderful Fall season. Have you had a snowfall yet?
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy..cool post a hobby I like to do too..

Your embroidery is so beautiful. I am absolutely helpless with a needle (well, I can sew a button on), so I have deep admiration for anybody who can do wonders with it like you do.
