I bought these two ribbons to make a belt, like this.
The inner ribbon is a rich velvet in black. The outer is my attempt at “olive green”. I guess it depends on the olive, right? The green ribbon has a gauzy lineny texture to it. I’m dying to make a headband out of it if my customer* chooses to go with the black velvet instead. We shall see.
I’ll try to remember to post the finished product, though you know I’m horrible with posting photographs on the blog. Something about taking photographs, then sitting at my computer with the cable, transferring them over to my computer, then editing them, then uploading them bores me to death. I don’t like technology and it doesn’t like me.**
I spent all of a portion of my morning dreaming up a new shop. It’d have tons of brightly colored, shiny household objects. Reclaimed, of course. Maybe it’s the {future} homeowner in me, but I’ve had a much more serious interest in home furnishings recently. Perhaps after we get settled***, I’ll open that bad boy up. I can have two shops, right? Why not. I’ll probably do some practice runs on some items for my own house and see how they turn out. After all, I’m filled with ideas but sometimes the execution is, well, lacking.
Ahhh. I’m off to cozy up to my man and craft my little heart out.
*I wish I had another word for this. Not client. Waaay too B2B. Even customer feels cold. Have any suggestions?
**I can’t wait for the option to wirelessly upload your photographs. Oh, it already exists? Yeah, I don’t earn $300,000 a year and therefore can’t afford that technology. Maybe one day.
***Hello, 2014.
