This is a little cottage I stitched on silk broadcloth with silk threads and ribbon. It is 2 inches wide X 2 1/2 inches tall. Not a house as we refer to them but still a miniature of sorts. The inside is also stitched and houses a embroidered tape measure. The roof is padded so it can be used as a pin cushion. I still have to make the loop that goes over the bead to keep it closed.
It's been ages since I did any silk ribbon embroidery....this is an exquisite (not to mention useful!) little piece. Did you have a pattern or make it up as you went along?
Beautiful!!!! and cute and pretty and lovely !!! If I take my dictionary I might go on for a while.I have never tried silk ribbon emroidery but I'd like oo; the results are amazing. Thank you for showing, Rosanna PS I agree with the others, it is not fair!
But your talent has some limits?! I think not. I'm so happy to know that in worldwide there are people who spend their free time to create beautiful things and not just happy hours and similar frivolities! Mini embroider kisses, flora
Welcome to my blog!
I am artist and a metalsmith. I have always loved miniatures and dollhouses. My interest in making miniatures is not restricted to the metal work I do. This year I plan to design and build a dollhouse.
I do not sell the miniatures I am making right now while I am trying to build my own collection.
