Ribbon workshop

I had another workshop with Candance Kling though GBACG last Saturday. This time we focused on trims and details made with ribbon (last time was fabric) A lot of the Techniques we used cross over, so they are nice companion classes. These were my two favorite samples:




The colorful one makes me think of an angry sea cucumber :)
I also asked Candace to sign my copy of her book, so now it is extra special!

19th Century Rushing workshop

I recently attended a workshop through the Bay Area Costumers Guild with Artist/Author Candace Kling.
The class was really awesome (I want to put ruffled trim on every thing now!) and My mom paid my fee for my birthday !!!

These Are samples I made of the Techniques:



I still have to finish two of them (The pinned on strips of purple/blue silk)
In the background you can see my Still-not-quite-fully-unpacked studio.


The only downside was I kinda hurt my neck from all of the looking down I did. I need to retrain myself to hold my hand sewing up higher. Having vertigo for the last three days has not been fun, thankfully it's finally going away!
