Ribbon flowers
Nearly two years ago we had a gal come up from Anchorage to teach us her way of making dolls. She doesn't design her own dolls but she makes the most of other people's patterns.
One of the things she showed us was how to make ribbon flowers. I didn't try it but I watched. And as usual I immediately went and bought the book she recommended. I also went out and bought a bunch of the wired ribbon so I could make some flowers. I've had the book on my shelf for all this time .. gathering dust. Never touched the ribbon either. Until last night. I didn't do too badly for the first try .. I am happy enough with the flowers to use them. You wouldn't know my pansy was a pansy but it looks pretty. My rose looks okay. My leaves are great! They were the easiest, lol. The book has great illustrations so it was easy to follow.
You can see inside the book here
Ok where are the pictures of the flowers you made? Enquiring minds ask and we can't let you off the hook so easy LOL!

I'v had this book for years and it is wonderful. I have several other ribbon books and I love them all. Lot of information in them. It's the techniques they used back in the Victorian days. I LOVE that Era.

Look at our site and send us your comments. We have a yearly Conference that is fabulopus and full of classes and events for our members.
I hope to hear from you I loved your site.
