Happy B'day Radio One :)

Hello All,

If you ever visit the Radio One office in Pune, you'll come back impressed, happy and more than willing to go back, just to meet the people :) Such is the energy and charm of the place. Having been there twice, I am perennially looking for reasons to meet up with the most amazing people - Shubhra (with her incessant mother Hen pecking :D), Tarun (with his never ending curiosity), Kaustubh (with his sheer cuteness), Regge (forever fighting with Kaustubh about one thing or the other), Tia (with her spontaneous bursts of singing)!!!!!!! I could go on and on but then, I think, you got to be there to know what the hell I am rambling about! ;)

So, here is my REALLY quick number 5, for the 5th B'day of Radio One and wishing them many more years of Music, Masti and Fun! :) The whole monogram was finished in 1.5 hrs (I am heading to a vacation tomorrow, so wanted to do something with a bit of free time today :D) and measures about 20 cm by 12.......I loved making this for the sheer pace of it! :D

A huge thanks and blogoversary challenge results..........

Hello All,

Today is such a memorable day for me and my Art. I'd never even thought a year ago that I'll be doing this for a profession. Goes out to say, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you got next. :)

I have a HUGE thanks to say to all the blog readers, for their interest, support, encouragement and enthusiasm. It's been a wonderful journey where I've gathered friends along the way...........I can't believe it was just a year ago, honestly...........

Now, to the challenge........I know I set a tough one but my oh my! People rose to the occasion and HOW! I loved every single entry, I could see people's determination for trying the untried...........thank you ALL for participating.

Among all the participants, I DID have a tough time choosing! But choose someone I must. It was so difficult that I decided upon an addition to the winner. The most creative idea! The winner of this will get a pair of hand-made earrings, specially designed for her and never to be reproduced :)

Here goes the winner of my super tough challenge: Anama Lily with her creation "Kida Revealed".....the hard-work in that is so apparent that I'll save myself the words. :) Congratulations Anama and I can't express my gratitude for participating in my challenge :)

The winner for the most creative idea is Gordana Mudri with her "Creactivity"! I loved it from the word go!

A quick quilled A

Hello All,

I have always admired how effectively people use crimped paper as an outline. I'd been eying a chance to try the same and here I had it :) I have outlined the golden leaves with crimped black paper. A really quick quilled "A" (do I always quill A monograms???) for a really close friend :) The font ia a modified version of Sapphire Sativa :)

Bid Adieu

Hello All,

A quick post again...............my last order in Sweden. The person wanted a more filled up look compared to what Aadyaa offered, so I had to work out a scheme so that the monogram was well surrounded by colour :) The background is not black, it's a beautiful rich brown but then...........I am not lucky enough to get daylight!

I hope this leads to customer satisfaction and I leave Sweden on a happy and satisfied note! I will pack my quilling stuff away today (no more excuses Pritesh!) and take a good one month break from quilling now!!!!!!!! Bidding Adieu to Sweden :)

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 :)

Happy Quilling
