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!

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.

Happy crafting for now!

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!!!
