FINALISTS OF

LUCKY RIBBON II INTERNATIONAL CONTEST

ON
SILK RIBBON EMBROIDERY

1. Nadezhda Halina of Kiev

"I have started doing silk ribbon embroidery this year, after being retired. Still I have admired the artworks of this creative style of embroidery for a long time. I am a creative person by nature: I draw a little, write poems, but my job always took most of my life, so that I had no free time. Having finished Ribbon embroidery workshops by Little Owl SmartCrafts TM I started considering ribbon embroidery in a totally new way. Thank you, Tatiana, for teaching me to love the beauty of this embroidery style and to create. Thank you very much!"

Nadezhda shows two of her artworks:

- Autumn Birthday, a fairy design which she embroidered following the instructions to our K-039 ribbon embroidery kit.

And some close-up details of this artwork:

- And increadibly beautiful, yet so very complicated From Olga`s Garden design

2. Olga Zelenkovskaya, town of Kotsybinske in Kiev region

Olga created so life-like portrait of camomiles by our Meadow Lady Guest K-015 kit for silk ribbon embroidery.

3. Barbara Wilson, Highland, Utah USA

"Several years ago I became acquainted with the art of ribbon embroidery but there were very few resources available. Recently, since retiring and with the advancement of the internet, I have been noticing many beautiful ribbon embroidery artworks and thinking that I would like to try developing this new hobby. I am particularly attracted to floral pieces. (I love everything related to nature – animals¸ plants, insects, birds, fish, etc). When I found the kits on sovushka.com, it seemed to be just what I was looking for, so I ordered some beginner kits. The first that I tried was “Autumn Waltz”. The materials and instructions were so complete. I enjoyed working on this project and I’m very happy with the results. I am anxious to continue working on with other projects. It is so fulfilling to be able to create such beautiful 3-dimensional artwork."

Barbara created her very first artwork in ribbon embroidery technique! It is based on K-036 Autumn Walts ribbon embroidery kit. And how splendid it is!

5. Tatiana Sandler from the town of Belaya Tserkov

"A couple of words about myself. I was always fond of handcraft, especially enjoying crosstitch (still it is rather laborious and time-consuming). Once, visiting a craft show, I found ribbon embroidery, that was a totally new technique for myself. On having tried it, it engaged me so much, that I can not do without it now.

Each piece in this technique becomes unique!"

Tatiana embroidered Inga Paltser`s owlets by How It All Started K-029 ribbon embroidery kit.

6. Natalia of Kiev
