I'm up to my eyeballs in velvet ribbon here. We're (I'm) getting ready to post the new colors which include blues, greens, black, rusts, and hot pink. I've shown some of them before, but no one here (uh, that would be me again.) has gotten around to posting the choices on the ole' website.
I'll post pics of finished brooches at least here in the morning when the light is lovely enough to take pictures.
Tangent: Did I ever tell you that our house has all of one front window and it faces in toward a sort of courtyard-like area? This does not make for easy picture taking. I keep threatening to have a big hole cut into the front door to add light (I'm dreaming of a leaded glass look window). Then I'm moving on to the roof and adding a skylight. I'm not too keen on skylights though because I haven't seen the improvements since the eighties... Did they improve the look of those things yet? Do they still leak? Of course it doesn't matter because someone here keeps putting the kibosh on this little fantasy. I'll mention no names.
