This is the latest gift tag from my kit I purchased from Hobby Lobby. I made several fringed flowers using 1/8 width strips of pink paper. I do not have a fringing tool. They are very expensive, but I use a pair of medical scissors that have a very small cut and are narrow enough to not have to worry about cutting all the way through the narrow strip of paper.
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…
So pretty! Your fringed flowers are gorgeous! I love the bright pink color too!...Nancy :o)
