Silk Ribbon Embroidery by bstudio

Brenda Kee's silk ribbon embroidery stopped me in my tracks as I scouted around the interwebs while Christmas shopping. bstudio is the newest sponsor here on the blog, and I'm delighted to have the opportunity to introduce her elegant greeting cards, pillows, jewelry, sachets, and wedding items to you.

I love the way Brenda's shop is arranged by color. With Valentine's Day on the horizon, you'll easily find all sorts of pink and red lovelies to give as little gifts.

It's probably safe to say silk ribbon embroidery is something that appeals to those of us who love fine handwork, whether it's done with paper or fabric. I admire Brenda for modernizing the art with her stylish designs.... this French knot ombré brooch on dupioni silk, for example - wow!

Originally Brenda was a commercial interior designer in Toronto, Canada, but now she and her husband live in the countryside where she appreciates every moment of her artisan lifestyle, a joy that's reflected in the beauty of her nature-inspired creations.

My mind is already turning toward spring, summer, and the great outdoors... and warm thoughts intensified when I spotted bstudio's dear nest ring, birch tree pillow, and honeybee necklace!
