Here is an overall photo of her block! Isn't it lovely?
I added the sweetheart roses and colonial knots around the cherub that Lillian added. I used 4mm ribbon in 3 shades of variegated silk ribbon from Hand-Dyed Fibers.I also embroidered the spiderweb rose motif using those same ribbons and adding in a green 4mm silk ribbon for the ribbon stitch leaves. I added metal flower beads and 2 butterfly beads to the motif as well.
Then I added the bow made with one of the shades of pink variegated 4mm silk ribbon and couched on letting the tails wander.
This is a close up of the SRE motifs.
I also added this motif which is one of my needle tatted medallions with folded roses and leaf beads!
Your roses are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI do use 4mm ribbon for the melanie rose, yours is lovely too.
I wonder what we do differenty.
I'm going to try doing a fargo rose with the twisted stem stitch petals..
Hi Melissa, looks like you've really got the hang of tatting now, that little motif is lovely.
