I think this is pretty much the perfect red. I'm calling it Crimson. Candy Apple Red or Cranberry might also be appropriate names, but I'll stick with Crimson. I think I'm going to try coming up with a lime green tonight. I haven't done any dying in a few days. I'm in the mood. If you can think of any colors you'd like to see, please let me know. I probably should do some brown/rust/gold type colors and some other shades of green. Please tell me if you have any ideas. It's hard to describe how much I love this ribbon. Why, oh why can't they make ribbon like this anymore??? I love the way it flows. I love watching it get more and more beautiful each time I pull it under the iron. Oh, the lusciousness of vintage silk.
I also did one more glitter frame. I'll list it and this ribbon in my etsy shop. Hopefully, I'll have more ribbon colors to show in the next few days.
What pretty ribbon and such a beautiful frame.

The ribbon is luscious! And it is the PERFECT shade of red- I agree why don't they make ribbon like they used to- rayon seam binding & velvets, too!

Per my first Blog entry I confessed to being a total Red Girl in a Blog world of Pink and Blue! My close friend Andrea Singarella of One Hundred Wishes will attest to that! I loved your red ribbon so much that I just ordered some. Where in OK are you? I graduated from High School in Altus!

Lovely ribbon and such a pretty frame! That red is luscious! My color suggestion would be green - a deep sage or acidic apple green - delish!
