A simple wall clock

Hello All,

A very quick post to write about a very simple quilling + punch craft clock I literally pulled out of the hat! :D It was too short a notice for me to do anything more elaborate :) Feedback welcome........

Happy Quilling

A quilled picture frame - worth a million words

Hello All,

After a big gap, I am back. It has been a manic busy time! And a GOOD manic busy time. After a spurt of illnesses (yet again!), I am back full throttle and making a comeback with  this project that has kept me sleepless for more than a few days :D

The sheer size of the project was a challenge! At 16 inches by 20, it was a "task" to fill this up without clutter or without glaring open spaces, and yet retain the "completeness" look. I pulled it off, or rather, so I think!

Here it goes, a picture frame, made memorable with quilling and punch-craft. I'd like thank the client for having such a clear idea about what she exactly wanted. It makes my life much easier :)

And some close-ups, for details of the amount of work that went in to it.......

Happy Quilling

White Pink Flower Frame - Tutorial

Hello All,

After a long silence (yes, I do hit mental blocks many times!), I am back, with a simple tutorial. Nothing ground breaking :) I just felt like posting a tutorial......the flowers have been used in this Frame :)




The flower tutorial is here and the leaves are something I have posted about before........

My best, I think

Hello All,

After one sleepless night and 7 hours straight of only quilling, this is what I created. I am not particularly proud of the creation but I am, of the patience I displayed! Hehehehe! It's a very Larissa inspired creation (thanks Kate for the link). She is, of course, a class apart! I can never claim to be half as good but try, I will :) But I will always be fond of this project because there was nothing I HAD TO conform to, to make this one. I made it truly for my own pleasure (and I have a track record of doing my best when I am not under pressure!).....a creation just to please myself :) At the end, however, I decided that I want to gift it to a little girl, who turns 1 in some time. I know she won't even know what it is but maybe, some day, she will remember her Aunt who made this for her and appreciate it :)

I've used silver glitter pen to make the swirls as I think, swirls is my strong point. And my hands had been itching to use these lovely glitter pens I bought long long ago :) [Sorry for so many pictures, I couldn't stop clicking!]

Here is my creation and linking it to Crafty JC challenge # 12, Crafty Boots' "Anything Goes" challenge,

Sorry, no tutorials for this one as there is nothing difficult really that I have done. Just simple 3D petals involved (tutorial here) with a gradation of colour and some beehive quilling to fill the monogram :)

Hope y'all will like it :)

A quilled thanks

Hello All,

I am sorry for not commenting on all the lovely posts by everyone both on Facebook and Blogger. It has been a mad mad weekend with my in-laws leaving and me doing some special cooking (rum raisin cake and makki roti sarson saag).

But I DID manage to squeeze in a quilled card (this damn craft gets into your pores and doesn't let go!). And here is my quilled card.........one of my all time favourite flowers - Bird Cherry! I love photographing this flower and have hundreds of images. Finally, I have (approximately) quilled it :)

I am entering this for:

1. Thanks Challenge at For Fun Challenges
2. Gratitude Challenge by Crafty Creations
3. Thanks challenge by Scrap Creations
4. Thank you challenge using hoarded supplies (I majorly hoard card-paper, the one I have used as a background is a probably a good 3 yrs old, I think. The background paper is a scrapbooking paper out of my hoarded scrapbooking papers and I have NEVER made a single scrapbook! Hehehehe. The outline patterns are drawn by my hoarded Ikea kids' pens :D)
5. Thanks challenge TPE 126 by The Pink Elephant Challenges

3D petal tutorial

Hello All,

I had been waiting for a chance to make this tutorial and I found one! :) I am sorry about me singing in the first video and the people talking in the second! I just didn't have a quiet enough environment to make this video :)

For the people with slow Internet connection, there are video snapshots at the end :)

Video 1: 3D petal tutorial

Video 2: 3D petal with embellishment

Snapshots for Video 1:

Snapshots for Video 2:

You can, of course, change (increase or decrease) the size and depth of the petals and also, shape them differently.

This is, of course, my take on the 3D petals made both by Manu and Nati in their posts. I made them for my B'day card, Thank You card and the jewellery box.

Happy Quilling
