Two Silk Ribbon pincushions

2nd view of Silk Ribbon and Stumpwork piece

Silk Ribbon and Stumpwork kit from Di van Niekerk in South Africa, it took me 3 months of working every day to finish.

Silk Ribbon Needle Case Kit from Australia, made in a class with Gloria Mc Kinnon.

Lapel Pin, made with silk chiffon insert and an antique german wire mesh.

This is a silk picture that I embellished with silk ribbon and beads. I put it on the top of a sewing box that I made from a beautiful mahogony box used to keep silverware.

This is a needle case that I made and it has different kinds of needles.  Made with silk ribbon dyed lace and for the cover it is black velvet.

This morning at 4:00 am I was woken up with a huge jolt and realized we had an earthquake and it was centered in La Verne the town i live in.  Then about 4:20 am we had a second one 3.8 centered in Pomona a neighboring town. So at 4:30 am I am watching news to learn more.  Rude awakening, my Yorkies slept through it all.  Have had a little time to add gadgets to my blog and will keep posting new photos. This is a paper doll made with satin ribbon and embellished with ribbon and silk flowers.  Made this in a class with Arlene Baker who has a wonderful beading book with a lot of great projects.

Welcome!
