Well here it is January already. Christmas passed quickly and the New Year's was just a flash. I have been working on some Silk Ribbon embroidery. I don't know too much about it but did a lot of research on the internet and I did buy a couple of books with a 40% off cupon that I had. I came home and got a piece of linen that I had started another project on and it didn't work out so I used that. I thought the silk ribbon flowers turned out rather well for a first time. They do say that it is so easy that even a beginner can have good results and it is true because I did. I have since done another one. There was no plan to this I was just trying out some stitches. The second one I did on plain cotton. I matted and framed them both
This other one I thought turned out a bit nicer at the bottom. I filled it in more with frech knots. Some of the flowers didn't turn out too good but it was all just an experiment anyway. I don't know of any other way to get started other than just do it. The flowers look as though they have been wind blown and I may have gotten it a bit crooked in the frame also I don't think the angle of the camera was too good.
