Sunflowers in Silk Ribbon Embroidery

Hi  Everyone,  Sorry it has been so long.  You know what it is like,  not enough hours in the day. You have your day planned out and  then *** bingo, it takes a whole new direction.  These days most of my time seems to be taken up with administration and not so much time actually doing SRE.  It is so peaceful to just spend the time working with Silk Ribbons, sometimes I even get withdrawal symptoms. I took some photos of these brilliant Sunflowers while in Brisbane earlier this year. So large bright and cheery, even with showers threatening overhead. The Silk Ribbon I am using is a  hand dyed Dinky Dyes 4 mm. Wattle. Available from   Daisys Garden Online. One flower took less than 1 metre. There are many varieties of Sunflowers with a varying number of petals,  but for this exercise I am  creating  24 P...

Viola in Silk Ribbon Embroidery

Image
As I promised in my earlier posting of Pansies in SRE, this is my version of a Viola flower. Please keep in mind that I have worked this in  7 mm. ribbons to make it easier to see on your monitors. I feel these would be so much more delicate and  effective in a 4 mm. ribbon. For the purpose of stitching this flower I have marked  out a  circle with a diameter of 20 mm.   Three Ribbon Stitches in Purple.  1 o'clock,  12 o'clock  11 o'clock slightly overlapping the previous one. Keep the Ribbon Stitches as rounded at the tips as  possible, shaping them around your fingernail.   Two Ribbon Stitches in Cream,  with the tip of the petal just outside the marked  circle. 1- Between 2 and 3 o'clock     1 - Between 9 and 10 o'clock. Change over to Lemon Ribbon Two stitches at 5 o'clock and  7 o'clock.  Making these slightly longer than the previous two. With a single strand of black embroidery th...

Silk Ribbon Embroidery Tutorial - Tulips

-
Image
TULIPS Simply constructed in Ribbon Stitch, the effect of  the petals are  changed by  using Side Ribbon Stitch.  Instead  of taking the needle  through the centre of  the ribbon,   place the eye of the needle on the  left or  right seam  of the ribbon.  As the needle is pulled  through  the   ribbon curls toward the entry point,  thus  giving the  petal   a  slight  rolled edge.  1: Firstly a ribbon stitch for the centre.  2: Make 2 more ribbon stitches for the outer petals, just slightly shorter length than the centre.  3: The stem is tightly twisted ribbon as  in the iris  next add some leaves. Using a hand dyed ribbon, the colours  can be changed  as you progress to the  o uter petals. Even to the point   that   the  ribbon can be cut into sections, so  you  have  the...
