More Jewelry boxes

Been trying out new flower petals and colors, love adding pearl beads I think it adds a nice touch.These are wooden trinket or jewelry boxes that I painted most of them, theyv'e been a nice seller!.

These boxes are of cardboard that I got from my Daughter, she saves everything, she learned it from me,lol
I decided to decorate them with quilling, nice way to recycle!.
I quilled these boxes , and made 20 paper beaded necklaces with Scrapbooking paper and magazines in one week, there both good sellers here. But boy did I get finger cramps from making the beads,lol, I'm ready to do another framed picture, just dont know what it's going to be yet,lol
Well hope everyone is having a great day!!!!!!!!

Farmers Market

Heres where I spend My Thursdays. Not very many vendors, because the heat has really been bad, it's been in the 90's, with heat index it's been 114 degrees. My hubby took pictures when I wasn't paying attention,lol
it's supposed to be hot this weekend to,and I'll be going to 3 farmers Market's, whew.
I did get a call from a lady that runs an Art show in small town near us, she had seen my work here on my blog and loves my work and wanted to know if I'd be interested in show ing my work at the Art show, I was so excited and said yes. There wont be any judges as this is there first time, but say that next year there will be, and my art will be up for sale. It's so nice that it's reconized as Art and not craft, Sept. 4th is the day!.

Been busy setting up at Farmers Markets at 3 different towns, on 3 different days, thats including our town. Will be setting up for Party in the park in July and then hopefully art show in September. It's been good except the 95 degree weather, it was 106 with index yesturday wow it was rough,well got to get making projects for next weekend. happy 4th of July!!!!!

Happy

Last couple of weeks have been good for me, as I already mentioned, that I've been selling my quilling, which has been great, I've had some requests.I also recieved 2 blog awards, and won some beads,charmes,chains and bling from  http://www.blog.robertscrafts.com/, also won a note book with quilling on it from Bronwyn , http://www.quillme.blogspot.com/ . Thank you all very much made my days!!!
Here's a picture of a request I made, she wanted something simple and small with bird and flowers, so I decided on a humming bird and flowers, I hope she likes it!

Bambi and MOM

Well I think the quillers block has gone for now!. I had a great weekend, I sold some pictures and quilled gift boxes, gift tags, book marks, and paper bead necklaces.THere was a lady that I told and showed that there was an artical and picure of my quilling  in Quill America magazine, and that I won a ribbon on one of my pieces. She was so excited and asked me to sign my name to the pictures she bought, I was shocked and gladly signed them. She said she had heard of quilling but never knew what it really was, so I explained a little, next thing she asked if I'd sell her the quilling tool that I had displayed with picture of shapes and explanation about quilling, I ended up giving it to her, then she asked me if I would send her some simple patterns, as she lives out of town, so I will do that and give her some quilling sights to check out along with on line quilling stores. It was all exciting for me to share something I love and enjoy, who knows we may keep intouch never know. Well anyway here is my recent project of Bambi and MOM, hope you like!!

Nature

These pictures are not quilling but wanted to share them, Gods creatures, gotta love them!

Now the second picture, Hubby came in with the camera and said he had taken a picture of a type of bird he's never seen, he really had me going!!

funny HA HA, love sitting in our yard just watching nature!!

Gift tags

Here are some gift tags, I used a teplate and traced the tags, then cut them out and punched a hole in top of tag.I could of made them fancy, but wanted to keep it simple, because I have other orders to fullfil, so I just did quilling on them. Ever hear of writing block?, we'll I have quilling block,lol hope it dont last to long. Well here's my tags, hope you like!!

Gift boxes

Thought I'd take a break from framed pictures, and quill on some little gift boxes, some are card board and some wood. I have sold a few and thought I'd better make some more. I also sold some gift tags, so I guess my next project will be making some more tags, then maybe get back to my frames. Here are the gift boxes.

White Tiger

After my Daughter saw the orange tiger I made, she thought it would be cool if I made a white Tiger, so I did.I also had someone suggest that I take pictures at different stages of my next project,I also did that. Let me know what you think!

THe first Tiger took me a week to make, this 3 days, I really cramed in the hours on this one, was excited to see the out come with it being white.Hope you like!

Tiger

Just finished this one, it was a challenge, with the markings, I think it turned out ok. What do you think?

Panda with flowers, and butterflies

I made this cute Panda, last year, my Daughter fell in love with it. I got the pattern from (Decorative Quilling book,by Trees Tra and Malinda Jonston). Malinda has some really nice quilling books and patterns. I added a flower to the panda since I thought it would be cute as a girl, enjoying the simple butterflies, and the flowers that I just made up, some fringed others punched with the petals curled. never can find paper that is long enough to fit the whole frame, so I made 3 sections, and took chop sticks and glued them to the seams where the papers met. Hope you like!!!!

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

I just had to share this with all of you, not to brag, but to share the inspiration that one can give to another!.

I am honored that Mihaela made this card for me, it is Beautiful!

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!!!!
