Ribbon Work for my lovely German Friend

I can finally show the ribbon work I was messing around with a few weeks ago, as my surprise has made its arrival in Germany.  It’s done in shades of burgundy, rust, burnished orange, and antique gold, with avocado and forest green leaves.  The flat broach is shown as a hat.  The bear doing the modeling [...]

A trip to find the perfect accessory!

I’ve made a bear out of the most delicious new fabric!  It’s such a unique and beautiful color… sort of a dusty pale, mauvy-eggplant… but it has a warm brownish cast in some light as well.  How’s THAT for a description!  After endlessly combing through my huge stash of yarn, ribbon, beads, and buttons… nothing I [...]
