Ready to Ship

Hello All!

Mixed feelings - excitement and pride mixed with a twinge of sadness. Why, you ask? I just sold one of my frames. The 'Bluebells and Butterflies' frame.

I know it is going to a happy, art-loving home and the folks who bought it will adore it, and I am happy to be the creator of something which people see worthy of putting up in their homes. But at the same time, it feels a bit sad to see it all packed and ready to depart.

Wrapped and Ready

Plastic wrap - check.
Bubble wrap - check.
Double bubble wrap - check.

Hope it reaches safe and sound, and its new owners enjoy displaying it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Cheers!

Home Decor - Wall Frames

Hello All!

Preparations for the Lansdowne Market fair are in full swing. In addition to holiday items like ornaments and greeting cards, I am also creating more home decor items. Here are a few created recently. I just cant get over flowers, as you will see in the photos below!

A flower basket full of colorful flowers. The basket is cut out from a table mat :)

FR004 - Flower Basket

An apt gift for a music lover, this wall plaque is made with the technique I call 'Paper Crossovers'. Shades of brown cross over elegantly to form intricate patterns of the staff. The notes stand on top of the staff, in bright blue.

FR005 - Music Wall Plaque

 Another flower piece, three dimensional bluebells this time, attracting a couple of butterflies!

FR006 - Bluebells and Butterflies

Cheers!

Quilled Figurines

Hello!

Quilling is amazing! The more stuff I try out, the more I fall in love with this beautiful art. I was fascinated with  3D quilling, and tried my hand at it with this small gift set.

Featuring a small pot and a new butterfly!!

FG001 - Pot and Butterfly

The pot is made of multi-colored strips, and grows beautiful red and orange flowers and a few blades of grass, while the butterfly watches on! Both items stand upright on their own. A perfect gift item for children and adults alike!

Cheers!

Greeting cards

Hello!

Yesterday was a busy day, quilling-wise, and at the end of it I had multiple greeting cards ready to be handed out.

Tried out the 'beehiving' technique, and fell completely in love with it. Here is a rainbow heart card, made using the beehiving technique. Thank you Susan for inventing this technique! The quilling community owes a lot to you. A big thanks to Pritesh for introducing me to this beautiful technique.

GC003 - Rainbow Heart

A simple card created using the looping technique.

GC004 - Looped Flower

Another one with 'Malaysian flowers' on it. These are my favorite quilled flowers so far! The leaves are made using combing. Will put up a tutorial on both these techniques soon.

GC005 - Malaysian Flowers

One more simple card, with a lovely butterfly!

GC006 - Flower and Butterfly

All these cards are purposefully left blank, without any message printed in them, so that they can be used for any occasion.

Cheers!

Butterflies in my home

Hello!

A friend gifted me a scarf with exquisite butterflies painted on it. Got me making a range of various quilled butterflies!

A delicate butterfly, can be framed and put up as wall decor, or can be made into a greeting card. Don't you just love the bling on it!

FR001 - Bling Butterfly

One more card with a different type of butterfly on it. The wings are made using a technique called 'multiple color looping', and the body is a solid paper bead.

GC002 - Looped Butterfly

I love butterflies. Rest assured, there will be more quilled items featuring them, soon!

Cheers!
