Ribbon embroidery

Ribbon Embroidery 

 I am so loving trying to learn how to do ribbon embroidery:)  I have learned a few new little rosettes and realize that I still have a lot to learn!
The problem is that the ribbon is soooooo stinking expensive!  I need to learn to dye it myself.  All I need are more art projects! lol!

    That's so pretty, Shelley!! Oh, yeah, I know all about expensive! Miniatures are not CHEAP. What type of ribbon do you use? Silk? Size? 2mm 4mm? I have several places that I purchase it from for my dolls. I don't know if it's cheaper or not.

    Shelley, you just don't stop. I have always wanted to do this but spend more time thinking about what I want to do and looking at pictures. You seem to do all of them! You are doing a great job with this. I tried is once and it is not so easy!
    Hugs,

    Beautiful work! Ribbon embroidery has been on my list of things I'd like to do for a long time now.
    Do you use silk ribbon?
