I have been digging through my 30 year collection of vintage & new ribbon, trims, beads & embellishments to prepare for the Idaho Falls workshop. What fun! I haven't looked at most of these things in years. I prepared a display board for Tonia which I need to get in the mail today so she can use it for class sign-ups. The display is about 12x14 so I could easily mail it in a flat priority mail box. It is one of those things you need to see and touch. A photo just doesn't do Victorian ribbon-work justice. It has been great revisiting this old love of mine and preparing for the new workshop. The 3 classes will involve dying ribbon, making flowers. leaves, stamen and beading leaves and other embellishments.
