Quill Monogram "H"

Hello Bloggers!

I had wanted to do this quill monogram "H" for quite sometime but I just wasn't ready.  It looked hard then I got bored with my card making and didn't want to do anything else so I thought it was time to try the letter.

I drew the "H" on grid paper then cut it out and traced it on the white card stock.  It's a little slanted.  You can find the tutorial here. My "H" was big.  It's 8 1/2" x 11". I got the frame from Big Lot.


My daughter wanted a pink one.  I wasn't too happy with the result.  I was trying to make the letter to fix in the box.

I was so happy I stumbled upon a blog recently that had a tutorial on making a square shadow box.  I played around a bit and  I made my shadow box 5 inches x 8 inches.  I'm hoping to share the tutorial soon.

Until then, happy quilling!

Miniture Flowers

Hello,

I gave the 3 D quilling another tried and I was still struggling with the flower pots. I knew why I was struggling because I used 1/8" quilling strips.  When doing 3 D quilling , 1/4" quilling strips was recommended.
Any way here are the miniature flower pots.

This one is a tulip in case you can't tell.  It's a little crocked.

 This is a rose.  I used the leaves  and the floral wire from the Cuttlebug quilling kit. I really like this one.  It's so cute!

Here is another rose.  I saw this one here.
The leaves were quilling tear drop shapes and I glued them together.  For the stem I rolled a square piece of construction paper.

Challenges:

Crafts and Me challenges - anything goes

Scrap book sisters - anything goes

Tuesday throwdown - anything but a card



Thank you for stopping by.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Quilled China

Good Morning,

My first try at 3D quilling. I bought  miniatures quilling book a while ago.  I decided to try the China set first.  Just in case you couldn't tell what these item are: two plates, two cups, two saucers, a bowl, and a complote.  I never heard of "compote" before so I have no idea what it is for.

A flower pot. The flower pot is sitting on the quarter.  I made five small flowers from the Cuttlebug quilling kit (quilling die cut) for the flower pot.

It was difficult! I guessed it was because I wasn't in the quilling mood. Also, I followed the instruction. When it came to following instruction, I am not so great at it. I will have to give this another try. So stay tune.

Thanks for looking.
