Dhishkyaon - a quilled photo, my first

Hello All,

Whenever something new comes my way, it gets me excited. But it isn't always that I get to accomplish it as soon as I'd like to. When I was asked to make a quilled picture, I had no idea how much work will go into it and how complicated it will turn out to be. The photo itself needed special editing to make it quilling compatible. And I wanted to use beehive technique to pull it off. This considerably increased the size I had to work on. The final picture ended up being 10 inch by 10 inch but I'm not complaining. After endless beehiving, here is the work that has kept me busy for a long long time.......

Thank you Shylashree, for egging me on to post. As I had said, now there'll be a flurry of posts for coming two weeks :)

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
