A creative tandem from Japan comes up with amazing ribbon sculptures

Ribbon sculptures are created by the creative tandem from Japan Ribbonesia. In their works, they focus on the history of their country.

Small items are made from multi-colored ribbons. In a few hours of work, amazing art objects - mythical animals and birds - appear on a metal frame.

The process of creating each sculpture consists of several stages.

First, the masters draw an image of the future character on paper. Books, magazines and newspapers help them in this. Sometimes you have to refer to archival materials.

Then, for better visualization, the drawn image is transferred to the computer. With the help of a scanner, the drawing is transformed into a graphic file. Japanese illustrators rotate and rotate objects in different directions. This helps to see problems with the form.

With the help of programs, sculptors also create the frame of the future figurine.

Multi-colored ribbons for the "skin" of an animal or the "plumage" of a bird are prepared in advance. They need to be smoothed, checked for defects and combined in color. The latter is based on color combinations that date back to ancient Japanese decor.

At the finish, the sculpture is complemented by various abstract patterns.

Those wishing to develop such a hobby can turn to the OXO website for help. In the section "Accessories for sewing and needlework" you can choose not only the basis for the future product, but also materials for its decor.
