About Me

My photo
I am a studio artist and textile designer. My work swirls around among art, design, and the joy of making things. I founded LFN Textiles Artists Ribbons in 2002, and have been designing these fairly wonderful ribbons for 8 years now. They are distributed for the wholesale market exclusively by Renaissance Ribbons, and are available at retail on my website, www.lfntextiles.com, and nationwide through fine fabric stores, gift shops. My tapestries are available through a number of galleries across the country as well. See the links section for contact information.

big cute









I sell a number of the things I make at the Racine Art Museum Store, and as they are having a shoe exhibition right now I thought it would be fun to make some ribbonny shoes for them. Big shoes are sort of a fuss to make, so I decided to make baby slippers instead.
The ribbons are from a collection I did for Renaissance Ribbons last winter called the Little Darlings collection, all 2-sided damasks and childlike and fresh.

The charming bootie pattern came from an esty vendor, melimade.

  1. Ah Laura, these are the sweetest! and some beautiful fabric/ribbon combinations as well.

    When I figure out on how to adapt the size of the picture with "hgold" pair in a way that it fits with the rest of the product category pictures - could I use it for my web site? Of course I'll credit. I already linked to you from the ribbons and crafts site (currently under "About us" but soon also under "Inspiration"). Go have a look and tell me what you think of it...feedback/improvements are welcome! www.ribbonsandcrafts.com. The english entry page is coming up soon....
