Hi fellow crafter's, I hope you're all having fun :)
Thank you for your lovely comments on my previous post, they are always appreciated.
Now that I have finished my first practise project of silk ribbon embroidery I thought it was time to invest in some books :)
You can never have enough books to hand!

| This one by Ann Cox is a great place to start for beginners, it's packed with information and Techniques. |
The second one I bought is this one and my favourite,
it has all the information you will ever need to master this beautiful craft and the author is self taught!
A true inspiration!
I'm so looking forward to doing this new craft and learning all the skills from these wonderful Artists!
Happy Stitching :)
What beautiful inspirations! Happy Stitching!!
