Hindu Metroplus October 12 2018

    Hindu metroplus carried an article on crafting and blogging. Nahla wrote to me asking me to give my inputs on the subject and asked me about my experiences as a blogger . 

Quilled bride

I love how this dress turned out . I took a free image on the internet for reference , decided to make a complete white gown for the bride . Wish I could have used a background which would make the dress pop out , but this is a small part of a big work and all the elements is mounted on the same background paper. I don't seem to have as much time as I used to so progress is very slow. I have to thank dear Daphne for being so patient.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Banyan tree quilled

This is a smaller version of my banyan tree. The leaves are made using 5 mm green strips in three shades. The stem is made using four shades of brown hand cup from card stock.

  

Quilled G clef

     This is a small part of a huge framework for someone who is a great music lover.
I experimented a lot with this piece , Initially planned to quill only the space around the note then I  feared the note might not pop out the way I wanted it to so filled it with beehives . I had to roll almost two packs of white to complete the circle almost wished I had rather used beehives for the circle too. Now I am glad I used the tight coils it gives a nice mosaic finish to this piece.

Quilled reunion logo

I had the opportunity to quill the reunion logo for Stanley medical college 82 batch reunion. 

Love Quilled

          This is inspired from Sabeena Karnik's work , I took a font I loved and added swirls around it . It was not easy and it does look busy in some places I have learnt that I have to plan more well in ahead of putting the strips on paper .

       Thanks for stopping by have a lovely day.

Quilled monogram S

        Making a series of monograms  has been a long time plan although I never really got around to doing it.. So I was very happy when I received a request for the letter S . I was given full freedom to choose the colours and design. The flowers are made from 2mm quilling strips the rest of the on edge strips are hand cut from 220 gsm card stock sheets. I used two shades of greens red and white .
