Busy, busy! I'm champing at the bit to get back to Esmerelda. Have her background all ready, but I need to make up a bunch of very detailed pieces for her scene, because the joy of the dragon pictures is all the stimulating detail. In the meantime, I've had to keep replenishing my market stock. More cards, tags and even though I made 30 note clips, I'm going to have to make more.
And I had this commissioned piece to do as well. It's a really nice wedding invitation, which you can see, even though I blocked out the details. Basic white, black and red which lent itself to some classic roses. With other flowers, bells, hearts, etc., I think it turned out very well.
Sure hope the newlyweds like it!
And then, hopefully, back to Esmerelda!
Quilling art is the art of paper filigree where the artist makes designs using narrow strips of acid-free paper, which are rolled and then shaped. I learned quilling from my mother, who was a gifted quilling artist. I actually wasn't sure I'd have the patience to do this, but it's both relaxing and fun. I enjoy creating my own designs, but I also get a kick out of making up some of the kits available.
The Art of Paper Filigree
This blog is to celebrate the things I enjoy making. This includes quilling art, crafts, and cooking recipes and ideas, as well as some musings. I enjoy sharing ideas. By all means, if you want to borrow an art idea, go for it. But please, make it your own; don't just copy. If you've never heard of quilling art, I hope this introduces it as an art form and possible hobby. And I hope the pages to the right of the quilling blog posts offer up information, ideas and inspiration.
Enjoy your visit! If you have questions or comments, by all means share.
