Back after almost 3 months - Quilled Jewellery

Hello All,

Ah well..............yes, I know. It's been an eternity away from blogging world. A move and lot of settling down later, here I am, back with a quilled jewellery piece. Now, this kind of jewellery always stumps me. I never feel good enough, for it is ALL about finishing! There is forever this little paper here, little paper there that doesn't fall in place. But well.............here we go :) (made to order)

And a nostalgia experiment ;)

Happy Quilling

Tutorial - Dimension addition to quilled flowers

Hello All,

I'm sure most of us have seen quilled flowers that are neatly off the base and look like you could pluck them off the board :) There exist methods to make such "dimension added" flowers. One of the methods is to use silicone (it's not silicon peoples, silicon is blackish blue in colour and very hard) glue. I, as a crafter, find it messy. Even as a researcher, I never found it an easy material to work with. Having cured silicone for almost a year for a research project will keep me away from it for life! :D

A sample of how flowers made using the technique demonstrated below can be used to make a frame:

So, I used a technique I had learnt in class II as a replacement, namely, using a paper cone. Here is a photo tutorial to demonstrate how.........this one goes out specially to Manjit Kaur Bhalla, who asked me for the tutorial :)

Happy Quilling
