Francoise Donnet, Workshop Embroidery with the silk ribbons.

The ribbon, contrary to the embroidery cotton, is broad. It is thus essential to hold account of this width to succeed in balancing dimensions of basic fabric, the ribbon and the points. There is about fifteen basic points like the launched point, the point of stem, the point of ringlet, the flat past, the encroaching past, the point of pink, the point of node...

You have 8 hours to lose, then with work.... You will carry out this pretty mimosa:

It is necessary to embroider the stems at the point of stem before carrying out the sheets and the flowers.

Then one makes the sheets in ribbon by using the point of sheet imagination.

Then, it remains to carry out the flowers at the point of node.
