amazing
You know what's amazing...with all the materials that are available to us, in general (very much in general) it seems that overall our ability/knowledge of crafts, such as ribbonwork, are deteriorating, instead of improving. This pic just goes to support that statement "They don't make 'em like they used to." What ever happened to this quality. Too many people seem to go with what they know instead of learning how...now I realize that there is a ton of beautiful ribbonwork out there, but you know I'm just saying...I'm not sure what I'm saying, just kind of rambling, stating the obvious at this point, okay, I'll shut up now :p"This is not a black and white world...in order to survive the colors must be swirled"

Olde ribbon work
The most amazing thing about the ribbon work in that b&w photo is it was probably all hand stitched. The same can be made today just as it was back then with out wonder under and the zigzag stitch of a sewing machine. The finest highly coveted men's straight suit ribbon work is still made cut and fold style not applique with wonder under. I learned how to and made my own and have a few others on the way.
As far as todays quality goes look at the fancy shawl dancers on the Gathering of Nations web site, phots section 2003. You can't tell me there haven't been improvements granted it's mostly applique fabric/thread work (not actual ribbon work) but the possibilities are endless.One thing at a time...Comment

My mom watched this show on Aptn and the guy was doing a top ten list - like Letterman - only it was "Things you never hear natives saying"
She told me a couple but didn't get to write down the whole list so let's make our own.
