http://www.dianefitzgerald.com is the website of Diane Fitzgerald with articles and photos of several bead work examples and a painting cir 1830, of a woman wearing a word ribbon. ‘Word ribbons’ were made with beadwork. Diana has a fascinating website showing lots of bead work ribbons with mottos such as ‘read your bible and follow the ways of God’ which was the bead work bible marker ribbon she bought from me. The interest in word ribbons started cir 1830 and continued into the 19th century.
