Materials : Silk Ribbon & Polyester Organza

Techniques: Ribbon Embroidery, Dyeing

To portray swirling, broken brushstrokes, different size silk ribbons were purchased and individually dyed.

Modified princess panels were draped in order to accommodate the angle of the swirls.

The silk ribbons were applied with free-hand satin stitches and continuous straight, leaf, and split stitches to express the brushstrokes.
