Hello All!
Preparations for the exhibition on 7th June at Lansdowne Art Space are in full swing. One of my favorite items so far is this treasure box, decorated with a lacy flower.
The box is covered with handmade paper (Oh...how I love those!), and on the lid is a beautifully delicate flower in shades of pink.
Here is a closeup of the flower.
The tutorial for this flower is given in this wonderful website - http://ajourneyintoquilling.blogspot.com/2012/11/new-quilling-technique-tutorial.html. Thanks Chris for the amazing tutorial! There were a few steps that I did not understand, but the one direction I liked best was - "Just try to get the given shape" :)
I have tried to get some shading effect by using multiple shades of pink in the beehives. The MOST tough part of making this was gluing the petals at an angle...each petal is glued over the previous petal and under the next petal...phew!
All in all, I love the way this flower looks, delicate and elegant. A treasure in itself!
Cheers!
