Product Description

The fabric and craft world is swimming in miles and miles of beautiful ribbons, with limitless choices of color, style, width, and purpose. Ribbon Artistry offers the creative artist fresh new ideas for using these ribbons to their fullest potential. The book begins with a large chapter on ribbon-crafting techniques and basics. Each technique is shown step-by-step, giving the beginner a valuable learning tool and the experienced ribbon crafter a quick reference guide. Techniques include silk ribbon embroidery, braiding, pleating, and folding

ribbons, as well as basics for making fabulous ribbon flowers. The book also offers over fifteen unique and inviting projects for incorporating ribbonwork into various creative endeavors, including giftmaking, clothing, accessories and home décor items. Each stunning project is an original design created specifically for this book by a professional ribbon artist. The experience and creative flair of each artist sets her work apart from the others so that no two projects have the same style. Each project is taught step-by-step, with full-color photos that stimulate the imagination and ensure success. Projects include clothing embellishments, flower corsages, pillows, lampshades, bedding and more. Decorating with ribbons is one of the easiest ways to transform an ordinary item into a one-of-a-kind creation. With Ribbon Artistry both beginners and experienced ribbon crafters will find new ideas to expand their skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite and Beautifully illustrated ribbon art!, October 3, 2007
This is one of my favorite craft books.When looking for a new idea I always find myself skimming through this book for inspiration.The majority of the designs are flowers but each one is so different and beautiful no one would guess they were made from ribbon! The ideas in this book cover a wide variety of styles from formal to casual.Each
project is layed out in easy to understand directions and diagrams with easy to see close ups of the ribbon as each project is made.It also gives you lots of ideas and ways to use each technique.

The techniques shown in this book are:

Weaving (There are 5 different ones shown)

Braiding (There are also 5 different braids shown,I used one while making a mum for homecoming.)

Pleating (5 of these as well.There are some amazing pleats shown here not just plain! You could make superb quality trims!)

Gathering and Smocking (4 of these shown but with so many different variations!)

Ribbon Flowers (I didn't count these techniques there are so many!) but a list of the flowers are:
forget-me-nots
camellia
buttercups
apple blossoms/wild roses
zinnia
chrysanthemum/aster
dahlia
dianthus
coneflower
daisy
black-eyed-susan
coreopsis
cosmos
lilly
several different roses
several different leaves
19 different embroidery stitches
It also gives several different ideas for flower centers

Then there are 18 detailed projects to put what you learned to use,they include:
boudoir ensemble
braided ribbon clothing detail
woven ribbon and lattice trimmed garments
straw handbag and beret
spectacular straw hats
ribbon hair accessories
flowers sampler
ribbon flower shadow box
ribbon flower wreath
woven ribbon photo mat
ribbon embroidery on wire mesh
grape cluster wine bag and napkin ring
table runner
classic silk pillow
romantic embroidered pillow
Christmas stocking

As you can see there is LOTS of information in this book and can be applied in any project you make! Highly recommended,I would buy again and again!
