Before Christmas, I had the opportunity to create a series of quilled initials for a commission. I had only made one and I was so excited to be up for the challenge! I will be updating my blog with pictures and process updates. I hope you enjoy! The first one is an M in beautiful shades of blues and yellows.
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…
