Quilled flowers and quotes

Here's another picture of flowers and quotes. I used 3 colors for the petals,pink in the center then wraped white and light purple around the pink eye shape.The center is a tight coil with white and light purple.
I made swirls again, still find it a little hard to shape and glue down how I want them, but I guess practice make perfect, or atleast better. I added pearls, I think pearls add a nice touch, what do you think?

Quilled flowers with quote's

Sorry it's been awhile since last post, my creativity hasn't been creative,lol. well got into flower mood, so I desided to make flowers and add quote's to them, I think I mentioned before that I'm not much of a card maker, so the next best thing is a small frame with quilling and quote's. Hopefully I'll get better at making flowers with swirls and different leaves. well here they are, hope you like !!!!!!

Kittens with Quilled flowers

There's a craze going on with a new flower called Beehive, the creator is Susan Quillings card, thought I'd make a go of it, mine are a little different and the petal shapes are thinner, but I think they work, here they are
Instead of my usual quilled pictures, this time I came across a picture of the cutest kittens and wanted to use it, and desided on the flowers to go with it, I also used striped scrapbooking paper to go around the kittens, I think it turned out pretty good, what do you think?

Quilled wood containers

Spotted these plain wood containers and thought these would be great for gifts!
I painted them and quilled different flowers and leaves on them, some of the flowers have 2 shades of colors rolled together, it makes a nice effect, you may not see them to good, but I'm hooked on them. I decided to add a notebook and a pen that is wrapped in floral tape that holds a flower at the top. What a useful and decorate idea, also selling these for $6.00 what a buy!
Dont forget to click on picture, you may see where I used the 2 colors together. Thanks for stopping by!!!

Quilled crosses

I thought I'd try something that took less time and very simple. I came across these wooded crosses that I thought were very nice, and thought it would be neat to decorate them with quilling, so I had my hubby spray them with wood stain, then I quilled some flowers, leaves and scroll, then added long pearls, hope you like!!!!

Quilled Owl

It's been awhile since last post,have been busy with Family reunions, Farmers Markets, and First time Art Fair. The Art Fair turned out great, loved it, so many people from miles around showed up and so many were pleased with my work, and could remember the Art from way back, but noticed mine being more detailed. It made me feel really good inside, although I still have a ways to go in improving my work, as I take as a challenge, and I love challenges!. Well dont want to bore you so here is the Owl, hope you like it!!!! You can click on the picture for closer look.

I used Markers to do some shading in the leaves, and feathers around the eyes.

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

Sorry I havent posted in awhile, but been very busy with orders the last 2 weeks. Today had a little time before Farmers Market to post, so I thought I'd share with you on some of the things I have made by requests, and other to keep up on stock as I've been selling them so fast lately!.
                      Here is a picture that was requested, she wanted a beach scene with poem of foot prints in the sand, and wanted me to use real sand and shells, I included quilling of a butterfly and flowers, she loved it!!!
                                   13x13 frames run between $25.00- $40.00 very reasonable

                               I also printed the poem on velum, and added footprints in the sand.

Here are 2 pictures done for 2 Daughters, the poems are printed on vellum, and colored card stock behind it. Then I added flowers and butterflies, only thing about glueing on the vellum is it tends to bubble alittle, havent found away around that, but it still turnes out pretty good. These were done in a 8x10 frame, which I charge $12.oo-$15.00, which I think is very affordable.I had suggestion from a customer, that I should put price range on my blog, since I do hand out cards with blog, that way if there interested, they would know  around what it will cost them.




Here are some more quilled wooden boxes, they have been a big seller here.I came across some shaped like purses, there really cute!. It depends on what they have at the time and when I can get them as to what I quill on and charge, its been running anywhere from $5.00 -$8.00, depending on the size of box and how much quilling and painting involved.



And last but least, another good seller is paper beaded necklaces, made out of Scrapbooking paper, love how the designs come out, it took me 4 days to make 20 of them, get finger cramps every time,lol


So there you have it, this is what I've been busy with, for the last 2 weeks, hopefully I'll have some time soon to do a picture or 2. Hope you enjoyed what I've shared with you today, thanks for checking my work out!Have a good day!!!
