Di van Niekerk - Silk Ribbon Embroidery

My love affair with silk ribbon embroidery started when Hubs bought me a couple of silk-embroidered tissue box covers from Belgium. Learning this delicate art was on my someday list which somehow never happened, Next life!
I am sew in love with Di van Niekerk's breathtaking blog. It has everything about silk ribbon embroidery, stumpwork, video tutorials and more. There you will find the latest news and updates, learn more about stitches and techniques, and the most exquisite embroideries by talented artists the world over!

    Oh. My. GOSH! Those are incredible!! I love the hostas, but then I love the hair on the girls! I can only imagine how lovely this is in person.

    I used to do silk ribbon embroidery, but it is soooo expensive. I love hand-dyed ribbons and that really adds up FAST. Those embroideries that you posted must cost a FORTUNE!

    It's not hard, but you do have to work on your technique. And start with something simple. I've made handkerchiefs for friends who were the mother of the bride, but I only put a couple of flowers on the corner. That was hard enough!
