I do ribbon work but didn't know there were books out. *LOL*. I'd be interested too. I just learned on my own how to do it best to my knowledge. Same with applique work. :D"Gaa wiin daa-aangoshkigaazo ahaw enaabiyaan gaa-inaabid"

That's the only book currently available that focuses solely on Native American ribbonwork.
(Hmmmph... maybe I'll write one! j/k!)
I can't remember if there is a videotape on ribbonwork. Maybe Full Circle put one out. I'll have to go look....Comment

Do a search in the archives of this board. There were several very informative threads about doing clip and fold ribbonwork. Now if you are referring to applique ribbonwork I am not sure if the threads covered that or not, but it can't hurt to search the archives.PB49

ribbons of the osage is good if you got an idea of how to already do it, they are obviously vague so that they don't give away all their trade secrets eh? LOL... also if you get the video tape from crazy crow on making shawls, they go through how to do ribbonwork for shawls. As for books, scarlet ribbons is the only one I am aware of.Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear... just sing, sing a song.sigpicComment

I've been working on learning Osage-style ribbon work and can make a passable piece but not as good as I'd like. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to discuss tips & tricks.

Would someone start a thread on Ribbonwork? That is something if we see it would help because I would like to learn how to do ribbonwork. -
I need some directions on how to do fabric and/or ribbon applique for a new outfit. I have been told to use the same material that womens fancy dance dresses are made of.
I have also read somthing in the archives about Wonder Under and interfacing but still don't have a clue.
Thanks... -
What width do you prefer? Also, I keep reading that you fold over the ribbon. Does that mean there will be two ribbon lengths hanging in every ribbon width as the ribbon were folded exactly in half ? or ...Does one fold it at an angle so that one ribbon takes up 2 widths? How far apart do you space...
