Customer Reviews

Awesome book beginning to end.

I always read the reviews before buying and almost didn't purchase this book because of the one bad review. I am so glad that I got this book. It is fabulous from beginning to end. The pictures and projects are virtually stunning. I already have Helen's book: Ribbonwork, the Complete Guide. It has a lot of illustrations while this book opens up your mind to vast possibilities. It is worth the purchase if not just to gaze in wonderment.

Great book, great projects and instructions

In Elegant Ribbonwork there are several new techniques, such as the lovely roses that grace the cover of the book in addition to over 27 ALL NEW projects suitable for beginners and advanced alike. There is a chapter on weddings, a chapter that covers wearables including a fabulous jacket encrusted with roses, there are several hats, brooches, a bracelet, a purse and scarf set, a Victorian christmas stocking and much, much, more. You won't be disappointed - this book is very beautiful and inspiring and will give you the confidence to try your hand at making lovely ribbon embellished projects. For those not familiar with ribbonwork this book is categorized as a project book. It goes beautifully with my technique book Ribbonwork the Complete Guide. There is also an instructional DVD titled Beginners Guide to Ribbonwork that has 24 ribbonwork lessons on it and is two hours long. You will enjoy this book just as much as all my other ribbonwork books. Buy with confidence!
