PAPER QUILLING









 







Paper quilling is now available.  This is just a few of the samples currently available. Even more styles will be coming soon.


 








Quilling is made entirely with paper.  Thin strips of paper are curled and shaped, then made into a design.




Being made of paper makes them very light and delicate looking, but they are actually very strong.  All of my jewellery is coated several times to give them a little bit of shine, and to make them even stronger.

Quilling fun with paper

Quilled flowers


Just for something different, I thought I would show that I can actually do quilling as well. For those that don't know what quilling is, it's a craft that uses paper to create all sorts of 3 dimensional objects. Often 2 or 3mm strips of coloured paper are curled and shaped into desired shapes and glued together to make the objects, other times the objects are made by folding and/or cutting paper to create the items.

As usual I gave all my quilling away without taking photos. This one was given as a mothers day card for my Mum last year, she framed it. So I got her to get it out of the frame and get a photo. So here it is. I put a lot of work into it, so I really did need a pic of it. There were 4 layers of flowers in this card, and because Mum loves all sorts of flowers and lots of color, I tried to get everthing into it.

I'll have to see if I can get other photos of other things I've made for people as well.
