Flowers in the planter

For those who were wondering what I used for the planter, I used chocolate foil wrappers, I rolled them aound a chop stick, then glued them together, and placed pearl white paper strips across the rolls. THought it was a good idea at the time,lol

flowers in a vase

I did this vase and flowers last year and entered it in arts and craft show in a small town near us,it won 3RD prize. The vase is quilled and used punches for the flowers

I just finished this one, Flowers are all quilled, still working on how to arrange flowers, as you can see there all formed into a circle. Real arrangements aren't, atleast I dont think so. Bet you cant guess what the planter is made with?, I'll let you know later on, for now you'll have to guess,lol
Happy Quilling!!!

Dedicated to Paula, because she is a nice person, because her comments to my post motivated me, because she loves blue color. Thank you Paula

She does lovely work!.



Name with flowers

This was another request, they wanted there last name with a lot of flowers and Dragon flies. I used colors that will match her living room decor. I also used color chalk lightly on the Dragon flies so they would stand out a little more, since they kinda blend with the back ground. The letters were done on a cricket, 2 sets were made 1 brown and 1 off white,to create a shadow. I'm getting the hang of it ,making flowers, just got to practice on arranging them to look good. I hope she likes it!

Under water scene

A friend had requested for a under water scene, here are the items that she wanted me to use,A under water picture that goes on back side of a fish tank, Little plastic plants, and scrapbooking shells. I of course added my quilled fish and little critters, and added sand across the bottom. She is hanging it in her bathroom along with other under water decorations. It is different, but was fun to make!
Happy Quilling!!!!

Flowers in a basket

I thought I'd try my luck at flowers as I'm not to good at making them or placing them right to look good like others, but thought if I practice more at it I just might get good at it,lol.

THe Basket is made with strips of magazine woven, and chop sticks for around the edges, also wooden shaped hearts, with quilled shape hearts in the center of them. Hope you like it!

Any tips are greatly appreciated!.

HAPPY QUILLING! Paula

Flowering vine

I decided to try something different than what I normally make, and I used white pearls, round and oblong on the flowers. The center is actually shaped like a cross. WHat do you think, should I continue trying something new or stick to what I'm use to?, lol Have fun quilling!

Humming Bird

I made this last year as you can see in the center, it was Fall. My Hubby took a picture of our neigbors tree and said it would look good behind the Humming Bird and Bird House and he was right. The pattern on the flowers came from the book "A Guide To Quilling Flowers" By Helen Walter . There are so many Beautiful flowers in the book. These are called Morrison and are summer-flowering shrub.It took a little time to make, but loved the out come of them!
Hope you like!.

Flowers with Butterfly

THe camera didn't do this picture justice, it looks better in person,lol.
Trying to take picture without glare and reflection is hard, but it's here.
THe background is a dark green, not black, well off to figure out next project, have fun quilling everyone!

Yellow Birdy

This one took me about a week to complete. I dont consider it being one of my better projects, but I think it would be cute for a childs room. I put tiny beads in center of flowers to give a little added touch for the flowers, it's kinda hard to see them in the picture. I was going to add rain drops, but thought it would be to much. Hope you like!

Pirate ship 2

2nd Pirate ship I've made, this one my Hubby talked me into making and wants me to enter it into State Fair, what do you think? The frame was a clock, I took the hands out and covered the design with poster paper.THe materials for the ship are:1/8th paper strips, toothpicks, chop sticks, and string. I think this will be the last ship I make, who knows,lol.

Butterflies and Flowers

Made these for a little girls room, I had made a larger picture with Butterfly and flowers, well she wanted 2 smaller pictures to go with it, I think her mom did to,lol. I love making butterflies, as if you couldnt tell. Cant wait till the weather gets nice and butterflies start twitter around our yard, they are so Beautiful to watch!

Monarch Butterfly

My Hubby found a picture of a Monarch Butterfly one the internet and said I could quill it," I said yea right". I didnt think I could, but couldnt pass up a challenge, he was right to my suprise here it is along with some roses.The frame use to be a clock, I took the hands and battery compartment off and covered the background with blue acid free paper.

Saw these heart shaped cases and thought it would be cute to have something quilled inside, so I made double fringed flowers with leaves. Would be cute for little girls.

Valentines

                                                             Happy Valentines

                                            I havent made many cards, but I thought I would try making one for

                                           Valentines. I cut a heart shape out of scrapbooking paper and placed it

                                            on light purple card stock. I decided to make roses, since  roses usually 

                                            come with heart shaped candy box. I used punches for the small hearts 

                                          and leaves, then topped it off with a pretty purple ribbon. I'm happy

                                           with the results.

another vase

                                                Got the ideas on vases by looking at the vases I have in my home.
                                               And tried to make the flowers close to what our in my vases.

                                                     Got 3rd place at art show in our town last year!
