A Personalized Card for My Dad

 Quilled arrowhead.
The glue was still wet when I took the picture!
I was a little late with this, but I was trying to send something handmade from me to my Dad for his birthday. He is an interesting person and if you follow me on Pinterest, you can see some of his handywork that he does knapping arrowheads and creating handmade knives. I couldn't quite decide what to make because I wanted something manly, so then I thought about making an arrowhead. VOILA! Not sure if it looks good enough, but I think he'll get the idea...lol!

Then on the inside, I put a goofy quote..."Make it a point to have a great one!"  I know, I know.....
Anyway, I think it turned out macho enough and hopefully he will like it!

Quilled Horseback Rider

I have a close friend who has trusted me to create several pieces for her and this was one of them. It makes me happy to have a new challenge and this was indeed one. I used a photo given to me as a reference and quilled atop a print out of it. I have the photo cut out in my pocket protector and am quilling on top of it careful not to glue the paper to the plastic. I use straight pins to hold it together until it dries. Here I’ve taken the quilled rider and horse off of the styrofoam backing and added to a background I added of layered trees. Here’s the final piece…
