Quilled Peacock

As I am becoming crazy over this art,whatever the thing is, I see it through my quilling eyes..And this Peacock was an inspiration for sure.This is a purse charm my daughter had and here I tried the same in quilling. I am planning to frame this and confused over the base sheet colour.Nothing seems to enhance the Peacock..

One more Earring

I am going crazy over quilling and wanted to keep on trying out different things with my paper strips.My daughter got me some tools for me and I wanted to do earrings again. And here it is.



My daughter loves doing flowers in Clay and that too miniatures.She did this Hydrangea and I did the pot to hold that in Quilling. Miniatures are always a thing of beauty and it is beautiful too:D

Lovely Quilling tool from Little Circles

I am now going crazy over quilling and especially Jewellery. I was browsing the net for more ideas and bumped into this site.This will come very handy when we want to  make bigger circles or tear drops for the earring and pendant set.I did this with construction paper and didn't use the quilling paper strips.More over the tutorial has the tool made for 5" circumference  to 1/2 "(in steps of 1/2")  .But I made just 5" to 2" only(in steps of one inch).I am planning to make one more with 4 1/2" to 1/2". I preffered it this way.Thanks a lot Little Circles for sharing this lovely tool tutorial. On top of the circles we have to stick a clear cellophone tape for the quilling paper to easily glide out after rolling.

Tissue paper roll

This  piece of craft I saw in the net.When I saw the picture I thought it was some grill work made out of flat iron rod. But when I read the discription I was stunned,as it was just a flimsy card board roll. As I am in the US,where people use lots of tissue paper, it was easy for me to collect them. So I tried a small piece of this art.WOW! It was so beautiful and easy too.Planning to make a really big one very soon. Once I  complete that I will surely share with you all.


Pearl Set

I made this Pearl set for my daughter-in law.She wanted it a bit longer and not a choker. So I added  a small length of silver chain with closure to it. She liked it very much and I am happy it came out well too. I learnt this from the You Tube and the tutorial is really very good.





Quilled Earring

I tried one more earring in Quilling. My daughter wanted a matching one for a new dress and fortunately the colours were there in the quilling strips I had at home. I used Mod Podge as a sealent and gloss. This makes the paper stiff and shining. Last time I used acrylic gloss paint for the previous earring.

Quilled Earring

I tried this one using the comb method and though it is not very good,I am happy that I am able to complete a project.
