Alas! My first posting

This is a ribbon rose brooch. Shown in this picture, I used 1 1/2 inches two-tone blue ribbon, cut into various lengths, and stitched into petal-like segments before assembling them together to form the rose.

This is a half-dozen bouquet of wild roses, made with ribbon and life-like stamen. Again, every petal and leaf was hand sewn by me and then bound together to form a stalk of wild rose. In a bouquet, it is an ideal gift for someone special, in a marriage proposal or birthday celebration. With other variation of roses, it can become a bridal hand bouquet. What's more, it can become a keepsake because it lasts forever!
