Quilled Frame

Hi Friends!

Made a 12" Quilled Frame before leaving for my India Vacation.

Forgot to click pics before sending this. Just got this to share here :(

Made this entire frame using Needle as tool. Tight coils, Free scrolls, Wheatears, Alternate side looping and Hand fringed coils are techniques  used here.

Hope you like it!

Quilling - My love :)

Its my ever first guestie post and am super excited about that. Thank you so much Deepti Stephens for this honor and offer.So sweet of u dear.

Quilling holds a very special place in my heart though am much into Cardmaking these days :)

Check CSCC blog for current challenge.

Here is the sneak peak for you all. Check here for the full reveal of the card :)

Come and play along the challenge. Lets have a "chill quill pill" :)

Quilled Sunflowers card :)

Oh Yeah...Its been a loooong time since i quilled. After my Quilled Dedication frame for my granny, this is the card in recent times i made.

These quilled elements were made some 10 days before and just assembled today to form sunflowers, leaves, tendrils and twines. Happy to share since its completely made using Quilling Needle only and the flowers are made with 1.5mm width strips and distressed on tips with rich cocoa momento ink. Fringed flowers are distressed with wildhoney DI on edges. For an added interest, made some multistrips scrolls.

The background is made by scoring a Kraft CS on scoreboard randomly and distressing again with rich cocoa momento ink to give a wood bg and matted on sandcolor CS. And the this mounted on a black CS whose surface is vertically scored to create little texture to the card.

Wrapped Raffia around card, added a wooden button and a sentiment banner to finish the card. Hope you like it!

Mixed media frame

My little sis- soon to be bride loved it so much. Need to carry all the way from UAE to India... And so this framing idea :)

Quilled Flowers

Very Happy New year to all my readers and blogger friends...Hope this new year brings all joy and harmony  to us.

2012 has gone so fast for me as 8 months i stayed in India after my Taiwan relocation and came here to UAE and this 4 months here gone super fast. And now, my little one got admission in International Indian School and so will be going to KG from April.

For all these days, i have been quilling and gifting for my near and dear ones only both in Taiwan and India. Orders came my way, though i dont do quilling on a monetary basis. Either they picked up the original piece or asked for a same color, pattern work, So there wasn't any chance to post about those in my blog as i never like reciprocating the same piece again...

And now year's first post and of course, my first customized order for a quilled work came my way :) seeing my Blog!!!

Updation: After Framing:

Though a very simple quilled work, am happy for bringing out the smile and happiness in my client after getting this work.

And for the first time, i used Needle tool instead of Slotted one...and loved the result.

And did you notice that, oh yah...Its my brand new digital watermark. Love it a lot. Thank You, Nupur Priya for making this lovely unique one :)

Hope you all like it...

Hope this new year brings many more chance and ways to improvise myself in this wonderful art. Tentative intimation about UAE quilling exhibition has come and am working on for that now. So will post my works  after the exhibition which may held in last week of Jan or 1st week of Feb...Wish me Good Luck!

Quilled-Twisted Easel Card

Its my first time doing an Easel card, but with a twist....Yah....You got it right! Its a Twisted Easel card with little quilling.

Wanted to quill seasons' based quilling for this Easel card and its an after thought purely. For Spring, i have quilled few flowery plants with a butterfly to get a freshy look and added "Bloomy", Summer with sun and cactus, and added as "Sunny", Autumn/Fall with withered leaves from trees and so "Leafy" and Winter with Snowman and snow as "Frosty".

This card is for the following challenges:

ICR challenge 11
Lexi's Creations Challenge 51- Just a Sentiment
KB cute Monday Challenge 31 - Anything goes!

Wish me Good Luck!
