I am developing a taste for edged dyed ribbon so I had to have another go. This is so much fun and easy to do using fantastixs made by Tsukineko. I got mine from Ribbonsmyth, but no doubt there are other places you can get them. They only take up a small amount of dye at a time which makes it easy for running the stik down the edge of the ribbon.
There is a mixture of plain undyed ribbon used for the base and also some commercially dyed ribbon.
It adds a lovely dimension to your stitching but I think I already mentioned that.

Hope you can see this edged dyed ribbon

I wanted to have a go at edge dyeing ribbon. I have tried before but the results looked stilted until I actually tried using it, and was pleasantly surprised. The stilted look was gone as you are only looking at a stitch instead of a metre of ribbon.
So I got out some fantastiks that I got from Vic at Ribbonsmyth. They worked really really well and I love it. I will get a photo of what it looks like in a flower.

I am getting addicted to dying these ribbons. They stitch up so beautifully. I have twice tried to take some photoes of the sr embroideries that I have been working on but to no avail. Shall ask DH if he can try and take some for me.
The ribbons are not quite what I am wanting. Have been trying to get varigated in a single colour. Never mind, I still like them.

Thanks so much too for stopping by and leaving me comments. I do appreciate it.
