Another set of Quilled basket

Hi blogger pals,

I did not have any idea or design in my mind when i started this project. I got some 1 cm quilling strips by mistake and I am not a great fan of using 1 cm strips for creating projects on a base layout. So was wondering how to best use them and had this brainwave!!

Quilled baskets (not such a brainwave actually :P )
The 1 cm strips give a sturdy feel to the baskets. There are 3 layers to this. To the middle layer i have a tight ring structure instead of the completely filled coil and it gives a different appearance. The handle is made out of 3 mm strips using the standard weaving technique. Hope you all like the pics

Green and white combo is my favourtie. yin and yang!
Going to make some more baskets in other colour combinations. :)
Happy quilling until then!!

Mojo Monday 260

Hi Blogger pals,
It is time for another mojo monday!!! And since this is the last week of the month, it is a round or square card. This weeks design is also by Juliee Tilman. She does give out wonderful layouts.




I have just taken the square layout for a start and laid out some basic elements. Not much of embellishments in it but I somehow liked all the colours I used. Not the traditional colours that go with each other. It was an experiment! :)
Here it is.

Yet another Mojo Monday 259

Hi All,
Back to yet another Mojo Monday card :)
This week's sketch is designed by Juliee Tilman and is very attractive and I this is the second card I am sharing in the same design!!


Here's my take on this week's sketch :)



Envelope

I have used pattern paper from Itsy bitsy, Added a quilled flower and instead of the ribbon addded two popsicle sticks cut in the same shape!! The quilled teardrop shapes do give it a nice traditional feel!

Linking it to mojo monday contest. Happy crafting until next time folks!!

Quilled (Heart) tree #2

Hi all,

Today I wanted to share with the quilled tree I just finished making. It is inspired by Elizabeth Moad's numerous tree cards that she shares. Each and every design is unique and amazing :) This is a slightly different version from what I tried earlier. Instead of the leaves i added quilled hearts and adding this to my 'Sending you my love' themed collection :)


Happy quiilling folks!!!

Mojo Monday 258

Hi Blogger pals :)
Second post today! :) Wow :)
This week's Mojo monday sketch is by Juliee Tilman and it is a simple yet elegant design :)

I have used a white base card on which I have added a grey layer and 2 white strips in place of the ribbons.
Also used a circular yellow foam piece and added a quilled flower to it :) The sentiment is handwritten and done! :)



It is a very late entry to this week's challenge but better late than never!!!

Happy Crafting pals :)

Quilled Car #1

Hi Blogger pals,

Its been more than 2 weeks since I have done crafting.. Running around with lots of work to do and the weekend was more than welcoming to start again.
This time its a quilled car! and the best part is the requirement is as per request and the person needs three!. Phew , guess that must mean lot of work for me :P.
He wanted me to have a look at the BMW art cars and get inspired by those designs. Inspired I was but I was not sure if i could bring them out with my little knowledge on quilling. So I decided to give it my own shot :)


Here are the pics.(It did take a lot of time :) )
Starting on my next one now...
Happy quilling!!
