... is another woman's ART! I've been busy crafting away with all my estate sale finds, continuing to expand my stash for my booth at
Junk Bonanza. The hanger above uses some of my vintage flowers that I found last weekend. The tulle is also vintage and such a lovely fall color. It hangs like a shall on the hanger and is gathered at the waist with a black velvet ribbon.
Then I ventured into the realm of altered ribbons. Completely inspired by
Kimla Kay and her
amazing ribbons. I am fortunate enough to own a few of her gorgeous ribbons from
our swap so I gave it a try. These are much harder than they look and quite time consuming. A totally new media for me. Kimla's ribbons are really spectacular. I could use some more practice:) It's really a challenge to get all the components in balance. The face of the ribbons, plus all the trim that hangs. I used to be a competitive swimmer and recently went through my awards box when my sister was in town. I found a few ribbons that I could part with, which made it all the more personal when making art out of them.
They truned out...well, interesting...but it's all in good fun!
