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

Beaute Naturelle - Part 2

Hello All,

A quick post (darned Internet decided to conk off today, and I spent half the day out of sync really). The mission statement for Beaute Naturelle (www.naturelle.in) is here! This was the toughest one to make as I was working on targeting women who have an eye for beauty and will be impressed by the beauty of THE statement the first thing into the shop :) I really like the way it turned out to be.

Happy Quilling

Inky Pinky Winky - Giveaway cards set complete

Hello All,

I have finally finished my Giveaway cards set (pls don't even mention the earrings and bookmarks yet! :D). Here is my last card, a colour I am never sure about how to use - Pink!

And if you pay attention, you will see a smaller version of Manu's little butterfly somewhere! :D I hope I have done justice to the beauty of the butterfly! And also, I have used Mihaela's little tutorial for making leaves at the bottom :) What a small little world! :) The idea for the card (the embroidery card, as Suzana calls it) comes from her lovely card :-) The right side of the card is hand-textured using a gold 3D outliner :)

Take a quill pill challenge

Hello,

I came across the Quill Pill challenge and well, I had the components ready with me! I love making different flowers with colour combinations I have, and as luck would have it, I had them all on hand! :-) Here is my entry to the challenge :-)

There are so many firsts with this challenge! I have used a fringed flower in any project (so far) for the first time! I never seem to have confidence with it, somehow. The purple royal flower in the centre is a first as well which I learnt from Amna's video tutorial. :-) I owe so much to the online quilling community! :-) My fringing is largely inspired by Inna's enviable blog entries. I had my Rangolis in my head when I made these, THAT is one thing I so miss here - making Rangolis! And with festive season around, my heart literally aches! :-(

Berries and Flowers

I have always loved to blend elements, an experiment I started with my Dhonuk logo work. This time, I tried blending printing and quilling. The result is here :-)
