quilled secrets

Blue flowers

2016-08-09T01:35:00.002-05:00

Here it is a butterfly using the beehive technique and quilling blue flowers.

I love the contrast between the colors and the backround.

The blue ribbon is glued to the card. Next time I will use ribbons that are made for cards and not for sewing.

Have a happy quilled day!

A quilled DREAM....

2013-05-07T14:23:00.000-05:00

Hello! I would like to present you my first attempt of creating quilling letters. I chosen to create the word dream because this is what I dreamed to do....

I decorated the quilling letters using the multi scrolls technique.
I added also a quilled bird that represent our dreams that fly where reality doesn't let us. A very challenging project that turned out exactly how I imagined it but I steel have work to do, I dream a lot and for those dreams to come true I have to practice.

Until your next visit have a happy quilled day!

Baby Cards

2013-04-21T05:41:00.000-05:00

Hello ! I would like to present you a simpler way to make baby cards. Using red and blue paper that I punched in the shape of a baby carriage and add some quilled flowers.

For the background colourfoul board seemed to be a good a ideea.

Have a happy quilled day :D

Quilling portrait

2013-04-18T05:27:00.000-05:00

Hello there !

Finally I succeeded !!! It has been a while since I had in mind to make an quilling portrait !

It has been a bit tricky to make this quilling portrait because of the board color. On black board every imperfection is spotted, I hope that it doesn't has any :).
Using multi strips technique I made the hair and I added a classic quilled flower.

It wasn't easy so far but the real challenge is to put the quilling portrait in a frame, I hope to find one that will work. Anyways, keep in touch :)

Have a happy quilled day !

Till next time, I wish you a happy quilled day !

My first quilled keys

2012-10-16T04:02:00.000-05:00

Some paper quilled keys, painted in golden, silver and copper. For these paper keys I used only black paper, then paint and after that transparent varnish so that I won't have any surprises when handling them.

Here you have a present tag for someone special :P

I believe that it has a pretty realistic look because someone even had mistaken with a real key :D.

Have a happy quilled day !

About my work

2012-10-03T04:16:00.003-05:00

Everything started when I discovered the incredible paper art named Quilling that is the art of paper filigree, that involves the use of spaper strips that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs.

Soon paper became my best friend and as you can see we get along very well :D.
With quilling it's always about discovering the beauty of this art, whether is quilling on cards, tags, boxes etc. it's every time inspiring.

Meanwhile I am developing this technique called quilling and making some crafts, I invite you to take a look around here!

Don't hesitate to leave comments, I really need your opinion!
Thanks!

A piece of garden

2012-09-28T10:59:00.001-05:00

When looking on the internet the quilling paintings I saw that they are made with 3d flowers and buterflys, so I decided to give it a try and this is how it turned out.

This is a project that I am very proud of ! I really love how the flowers look ! It was hard work, O remember that it took days,but quilling is something that I enjoy doing.

For the little flowers I added some nice white pearls that I found when organizing around my workspace.

Quilled buterfly box

2012-09-28T06:33:00.000-05:00

I've seen a lot of quilling crafts but one thing that I didn't seen so often were jewellery boxes.

So here you have a quilled buterfly using the beehive technique and quilled roses on an wooden box.

I've chose to paint this box in this color because I knew that will go really nice with all the colorful quilling that I added.

Have a happy quilled day !
