The winners of the International Silk Ribbon Embroidery Competition 2012!
I am so honoured and so happy to publish the International Silk Ribbon Embroidery Competition 2012 list of winners! These are the world’s best entries and I am so proud of every one of you.
There were so many exquisite entries and each piece was made with such love and care. To everyone who entered, I thank you. Thank you for your love and dedication to this art form.
I salute you all ♥
And the winners are:
Some of the many gifted artists to be featured in a new book:
Silk Ribbon Embroidery - a collaboration of artists from around the world[/caption] And the judges’ TOP choice, for best project, goes to Marina Zherdeva from Moscow for her exquisite landscape: Bench in the Rose Garden. Congratulations Marina! Here is a glimpse of what Marina made in her landscape – I cannot show the entire piece as this will feature in the new book...
