Handmade Monday - Ribbons Rule

From here on in I'm hoping to make my Monday Posts part of Handmade Monday.  If you haven't checked it out yet go have a look over at Handmade Harbour.

Anyone who's ever popped over to my Etsy shop couldn't fail to notice my love of  ribbons.  I also love believing that when it comes to creativity there really are no rules as to what materials can be used for.



And so with an abundant supply of ribbons, buttons and bows I created my unique jewellery collection.  I love that ribbon can be manipulated into different shapes, that you can knit with it, crochet with it and add so many embellishments.



I've just spent this past weekend re-organising my studio and taking stock - my love for ribbon has  been reignited and creative ideas flowing - perhaps embroidery with ribbon.  Or perhaps I could just finish off the myriad of bracelets, necklaces and ribbon chain links I've found in my project basket.

Who knows what I'll have to show next week.

  3. It's amazing what you find when you have a tidy up! I'm exactly the same :0D
    Your ribbon bracelet looks amazing, wonder what you will come up with next. I've seen ribbon embroidery and that looks pretty cool. I havn't pinned my sampler, never thought about it actually!

  5. I love this work. I hadn't thought about crocheting with ribbon but you now have my interest - I am forcing myself to stay sat here and not rush down to the shop to give it a try right now! Thanks for sharing :)
