Do you have a favorite tool? I don’t think I can choose just one favorite tool. I have an assortment and each work well for specific tasks. I work with varied widths of paper strips and have a tool for each one. I will say that for the longest time I used huge scissors and the smaller ones made all the difference in the world. Same with the fine tipped glue bottle. I used to use a different needle tool, but I broke a few before I went to this full metal one. #gamechangers #quilling #papertools #quillingtools #amonthinpaper #amonthinpaperday2 #quillingfun #cantpickjustone #madewithpaper #paperartistcollective

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…

Quilled Ballerina

Quilled Ballet,  Dancer I wanted to try something challenging and I saw a picture of a ballerina that I thought might be the one. Well, here it is....I used a combination of beehive and regular quilling. This is in honor of my daughter turning 13 today! Happy Birthday!!! Quilled Ballerina Quilled Ballerina
