Mythical or Mystical! A Quilled Peacock

After a realllly long time I completed a project which I have been planning for quite some time. A quilled peacock.

When I go back and see myself progress from this (A Quilled Feather) to this attempt, I do feel proud.

I am sure I am nothing compared to the likes of Pritesh, Suganthi, ManuK and the likes in quilling delicate pieces, but it has nevertheless been a good journey so far. Hope I grow :) :)

Here are some of the pics of India's National bird perched upon a branch..

I may not have gone for the traditional peacock colors in the true sense. I have played with the shades a little bit. What can I say, everything is fair in Art!

I have used 5 mm strips for the entire project. The leaves were created using tissue paper so that it looks real. I doodled with some quilled leaves for a while but finally decided to go with this approach.

I am not sure if I should have added flowers :( Some said no, some said yes, but finally, no flowers and no messing it up. :) I hope it is a good one.

Size : 50 cm X 36 cm

Should I title it Mythical or Mystical!

There he is...

Perched atop a branch, In full glory, With his beautiful flowy feather 

I couldn't avoid sharing a invert-color that I tried for this. Actually this (eerie-looking) peacock does look nice to me :P

Quilled jumkas! and some others

Hi all,

Here are some pics from my recent take on quilled jewelry. (jumkas to be more precise). This is my first try at quilling jumkas. I absolutely love spending time doing this. Even though it takes time, patience and care to craft each item the end product is absolutely worth it. I am a great fan of Pritesh's jumkas and even though these are no where near to her creations I am sure it is a start. 

Thanks to Vijayvel for the pics :)

Say It In Black n Gold - MojoMonday 342

Hi all,
Today's card is a take on Julee's sketch for this week on MojoMonday.

So why not say your love with a card of black and gold!

Mojo Monday 341

Hi frensz....

I just completed the Mojo Monday 341 Sketch card. I have been trying to do one of the Mojo monday templates for a long time now. Finally got some time to spare :) This week's sketch is from Julee. Here it is...

In this version, I have used Black card base, Gold glitter pen from Uniball, Pista shells and some earring caps :) :) I personally feel it has come out well and the gold adds a antic look.

Entering it to the Mojo Monday 341


Hope you all like it.
