Ribbony Me!



I'm going to share a truly daft layout today :)


Yes, that is me under a pile of ribbon.  Yes I do have a lot of ribbon, and yes I am daft :)
Other than the photo though... how cool is that rainbow of ribbon tufts?!


I raided my offcuts jar for rainbow coloured pieces around 15 cm long and lined them up in colour order.  A cut a couple of 1cm strips of thick card and stuck them together to give a really strong core.  I then tied my ribbon pieces around it.  So simple but I so pleased with the effect.


You can find 99% of my ribbon collection on this site, but I'm not going to list each of the ribbons.  It would take a lot of looking on the site to get the links and I'm bound to stumble across more ribbons that I don't have and... well I haven't got any more space to keep them :D  If you do want to know a specific ribbon leave me a note and I'll get back to you :)

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
