Given a graph like the one on the right side of the picture below, I want to draw a ribbon graph (that is, a "thickened" version of the graph) like the one on the left.

I already drew the graph using Bézier curves but I don't think the best way to approach the ribbon graph would be using Bézier curves. How could I do it?
Below we have my drawing of the graph:
begintikzpicture
useasboundingbox (-2,-2) rectangle (2,2.5);
beginscope[very thick,decoration=
markings,
mark=at position 0.3 with arrow>
]
draw[ultra thick,postaction=decorate] (0,0) .. controls +(60:3) and +(120:3) .. (0,0);
draw[ultra thick,postaction=decorate] (0,0) .. controls +(-60:3) and +(-120:3) .. (0,0);
endscope
beginscope[very thick,decoration=
markings,
mark=at position 0.5 with arrow>
]
draw[ultra thick,postaction=decorate] (0,0) -- (-1,0) .. controls +(180:1) and +(180:2) .. (0,2.5)
.. controls +(0:2) and +(0:1) .. (1,0) -- (0,0);
endscope
fill[fill=black] (0,0) circle (3pt);
endtikzpicture

Yeah! Just draw some other Bezier curves, or whatever curves you want, and use somefillcommands for color filling.

I do not know if it is time consuming to draw this. For me it would be probably more time-consuming to try to understand the abstract question behind this. If there is a clear, general question, please let me now, otherwise you may want to look at
