Asteraceae and Yummo - all quilled

Every Inchie Monday this week has Thistle, which is very amenable to quilling.

The twinchie is quilled too. It's Cake!!! Every town has one and Melbourne is no exception. We've got Acland Street (which happens to be in the suburb I grew up and live in). It's like an exhibition of cake shops that were started by European immigrants some time after the war. Europe does cake well.

And just once more, here is my winning piece. I picked it up with all the awards and certificates.

And there were also prizes. They gave me $350 worth of paper stuff, stamps, washi tapes, etc. Not something I would rush out to buy. But for free..... that a different story, I will find use for this. For example, there are plenty of candidates to tangle on.

Salmon and Circles

Every Inchie Monday is up to Salmon. I was going to try making the fish from polymer clay, but settled for a prison uniform in a softer shade.

My twinchie for the week is Circles.

And I can't stop showing off about my double win at the Royal Melbourne Show - see here. And here is the winning piece yet again:

Jewel in the Crown

Just found out I got not only first place, but best in category with this, St. Edward's Crown, at the Royal Melbourne Show taking place right now. Made entirely from paper (as per comp requirements), measures around 25x25x25 cm (10x10x10"). Just rapt, jolly good, joyous weekend!!!  Here she is, her maJesty:

Linking this jazzy job to ABC Wednesday.
