{2 Bloggers I Admire}

During the last couple of years it is with pleasure that I have been reading and admiring several ladies that create exceptional handwork. The economy is in a downward spiral but hand-work is on the rise again, including sewing. This is a good thing, as there are so many women with golden hands. Two of those ladies with golden hands I like to introduce to you here. It is Ayu from the blog White & Roses. Ayu is from Bali, Indonesia and lives in Rome, Italy. She is an artist in creating ribbon roses. Dana from Lambs and Ivy Designs from my own state of Georgia, USA also creates lovely ribbon roses. One day we certainly will meet in person!
Look at Ayu's Big Sew-On Purse in pink linen here.
Don't you LOVE those real looking roses and the French knot embroidery on the linen fabric?
One can envy such talent...
Already before I did show you some ribbon work from Dana; Lambs and Ivy Designs.
These violets she made for me...
On Dana's blog you find roses and even Poinsettias she does for this season.

Two super talented ladies and no doubt they will bring joy to many who appoint them for some special ribbon embroidery work to be used for pivot moments in their lives.

    Golden Hands - what a lovely phrase.

  7. Liebe Mariette,
    da hast du wirklich zwei außergewöhnliche Talente entdeckt. Ich habe die Bändchenstickerei selbst mal versucht, allerdings mit wenig Erfolg. Deine Veilchen sind schon ganz toll.
    Schöne Grüße, Johanna

  18. Hello my dear friend Mariette,
    Your friends are really talented, they make such beautiful work of art, they have a gift and people around them are very lucky to get some of their creations.

    Thanks for your nice and kind words in my blog, and I agree completely with you when you said in my post where I talk about Veterans Day; that young people nowadays don't appreciate the sacrifices other people have made in order to live in a better world, very sad but true.

    I couldn't come to visit you before because my husband and I were still out of town. Today I just started to catch up.

    Send you a big hug my dear friend
