LISTING INFO/DETAILS
This listing is for the PICK YOUR OWN color palette in Silky and/or Fairy Ribbons that measure approximately 40 to 42" (inches) long (that converts to 1016 to 1066 mm). These measure about 2cm wide when they are flattened out, and are stitched along the sides to a tapered point.
The First photo shows a variety of these Hand Painted Silky and Fairy Ribbons as I sell them in person.
The Second photo show how these two styles of ribbons look around my wrist: Silky Ribbon is more opaque, Fairy is a bit more crinkly.
The last three photos shows you the current list of 60 colors I carry: I do have more limited edition colors on my website and these 60 current colors. These photos were last updated on 9/27/15.
Please zoom to see the color numbers and names.
ABOUT THE SILKS:
I acquire these silk ribbons from a good friend who hand paints every silk strand within color batches. She has been painting on silk for close to 30 years, using tried and true recipes for colors based in her rich European heritage. The dyes she uses are "eco friendly".
I was interested in the silks when I first saw them from afar. I fell in love with them when they were in my hands. And when I used one to tie around my neck to hang one of my porcelain pendants from, I was in heaven…
Simple, beautiful, soft, breathable, highest quality I have ever found, and they can be used for just about anything imaginable. They are hand washable in a mild detergent if they are soiled.
Please avoid chlorinated pool water, salt water, or extended periods of direct sunlight exposure - as these are silk, and they must be cared for as such.
