I am sorry that you got frustrated in the process of making it, but I think that sometimes fabric wants to do what fabric wants, and we shouldn't be so hard on ourselves if the end result is not as smooth as other material would be: fluidity is the beauty of fabric afterall! :) Thanks for sharing the lessons that you learned and your amazing talent!!

Ribbon is not very stretchy depending on the type of ribbon. It certainly is not as stretchy as fabric. So I think it is what is causing the wrinkling. The give for the ribbon is different than the give of the fabric pieces. <br /><br />I would have ironed fusible web on the back of black fabric. Then I would have rotary cut strips to the desired width on the bias. I would have ironed it down over the glass pieces and then stitched it down. I would have used invisible thread and a narrow zigzag on all edges. Although I guess you could have used black thread and a straight stitch.

You had an idea and you went for it! I have lots of ideas and have followed through on very few due to lack of confidence I think. But I do have a few things I started that took completely different paths than originally planned! Frequently things don't end up quite as I envisioned them or a better idea will come as I am working so I change things on the fly. I had an idea about a change you might consider, but you may feel I am being critical. But I'll say it anyways, in case you agree it is a good idea :-) You could consider splitting it into 2 narrow pieces with an arched top and inserting a taller narrow piece in the middle to make a triptych. That might be a way to try a different method on another piece and put them together to create something new.
