It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

I've been really busy lately with my sons and daughters extra curricular activities, so all my grand spectacular expectations of making lots of quilled ornaments just haven't happened....as of yet. So far, I've made one following a pattern from Charlotte Canup and you can purchase the directions here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/88314486/quilled-snowflake-inside-glass-ornament
That was my first attempt at a quilled ornament, then I proceeded to try another snowflake of my own! The next one I wanted to try something different so I tried a Christmas stocking. I purchased the plastic ornaments at Hobby Lobby and then found some at Walmart as well. They have big and small round ones and even flat big ones! I hope that now I can make a little more time to create some more! What do you think?

Another Ornament for Christmas

I found some more ornaments in my closet of craft stuff while cleaning this summer.  Obviously my cleaning didn't get very far being so delighted with my new discovery!  I found a cute clip art a while back of some holly leaves, so I thought about how I could do it inside the ornament.  After a few minutes, I was ready to start.  After gluing two leaves together, I gently pushed them inside.  I then used a plastic butter knife to keep them lying flat and let them dry.  I then added the third leaf.

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…
