Quilled Roses in a handmade frame :)

Hi blogger pals,

Today I tried out a simple quilled rose, the instructions which i found on youtube. I guess it came out pretty decent for a first timer!! :) Did three of them and added a leaf made out of recycled paper.

Now the interesting part was making the frame... Just follwed the instructions here and whola!, a cute
liitle frame :) :)

Hope you enjoy the pics :)

Happy Quilling :)

Tissue paper flowers...

Today was at my aunts place and was helping out my cousin in her project work and we got bored of that...So she taught me how to make tissue paper flowers.. Its soooo simple and so damn beautiful. Posted some pics here. Do try this out and its a fantastic decoration and takes just a minute to do.. The effect is just wonderful

Happy crafting folks :)

A place to read...

Hi all,
So I set out to try a quilled pot or a jug or something of the sort and I end up with this.....
A table...

Things do have a way of turning out completely the opposite of what you intended to..... :P
I did not try to enhance it further... So just added 2 mini tea cups and 3 books and wola!!!! a reading place...


The books are made out of 1 cm strips, the teacups of 4 mm strips. The table is also out of 1 cm strips and measures about 3cm tall and 5 cm wide approx...

Hope you like it :)


Happy Quilling folks!! :)

On going work.......

Hi all,
been bit away from quilling lately..... Just started to get back on things....
This one is for a collegue who has given me some freedom to go ahead with any kind of designs as long as it fits his theme 'love'....

Trying something without conceptualising the design for the first time. not sure how its gonna come out....

This is as far as I have got into..

Not sure how i m going to complete this! :P
Working on something parallely.. will post soon!

Happy quilling fellas! :)

Quilled Name - Yet another try!

Hi all,
It has been reaallly long since i was active. Sorry for that. Its been hectic around here and trying to squeeze in time for quilled seemed an almost impossible task. Luckily when need arises you somehow find the time!

Its my collegue's daughter's birthday next month. The same date as that of the Indian film industry's Super Star 'Rajini Kanth' 12-12-12. So thought why not give her a quilled name for her birthday. She is such a sweet lil girl and extremely adorable. So i sat down to begin. The challenge for me here was her name is quite long. Thahalaathmiga. It means something serene (not sure exactly). I have not tried such big lettering till now and was a bit scared as to how it will turn out.
I did just the name first,then came the two flowers. I wanted to keep the main colours to blue and black so didn't use green for the leaves. Just went ahead and used blue for it too and wanted it to be a change.
The first design didn't look consistent to me so modified that to and here you see the final effect in the second pic. Colours don't look the same as i have a very bad camera, so added some effects.

Hope you all like it.

Happy quilling folks!!

Quilled Name Board

Hi all,
A quick post on a quilled name board i did yesterday. Took very little time as there are only three letters and it is an extremely simple design.

The stand is perched nicely on the CPU of my desk :) Hope the recipient likes it too. :)

Here are the pics.

Happy Quilling n Happy diwali folks!
