Ribbonesia

Japanese artist and illustrator Baku Maeda started Ribbonesia in 2008, after discovering a unique way to fold ribbons into wearable animal sculptures. Each piece is made by hand, with custom colors, so that none of the animals are the exact same. Aren’t they just adorable?!

  6. What a great idea! Perfect alternative for a brooch! I’m always trying to figure out other ideas for brooches, last week, I tried earrings instead – have a look: http://natashafatah.blogspot.com/2012/02/diy-earrings-as-broaches.html

  29. You actually make it seem really easy together with your presentation but I find this topic to be really one thing which I feel I would never understand. It kind of feels too complicated and extremely huge for me. I am having a look ahead in your next put up, I will try to get the cling of it!
