Materials

I love using the wired ribbons. There are some beautiful variegated ribbons. Then the fun comes when you find a button or make a center to make your flower special. People wear them on the blouses, t-shirts and jackets, in their hair and on their handbag. And they make a wrapped gift package really gorgeous. I just can't stop making these things !

What was your inspiration?

I've always admired milinary flowers. I just started experimenting. I made some ugly flowers before I perfected my technique. Now I can knock one out in an hour. Don't be afraid to experiment. You can always undo it and start again.

This is my project. I would love to do a pattern or class. It will just be a little while before I have time to do that. I've taught a lot but I've never done an on-line class. I have several I'd like to do. I don't really know what projects are appropriate for pattern, instructions or class. Any suggestion ?
