New additions!

A few weeks ago, I was working on two bookmarks that my dear friend, Jill, had ordered.  She had wanted this shimmering turquoise, but I didn't have the right width of this color to work with (as the bookmark needs a 1" width ribbon, but I only have 1.5" and 5/8" ribbons.)  Thankfully, she is willing to accept another color! As I was working on the bookmark, I was thinking to myself that a small rose would look very cute. Truly, the result is a very cute but extremely tedious to craft flower as again this rose is made by assembling few individual petal to a centre rose!

It took me more time and care when working on these tiny flowers than the bigger ones.  I now understand why professional ribbon crafter - Helen Gibb, always encourages beginners to start with a bigger width ribbons ;-)

This is another style of flower. So far, I have only experimented with these two styles of roses.  Hopefully, I will have more time later to experiment with other styles of flowers for the rings and brooches.   

Presently, I only have these 3 rings on hand, and I'm selling them at S$27 each.  So, if you are interested, please send me an email or if you have my contact, call me.
