I'm about to bust from excitement! As you know, I just did my first craft show where I displayed my framed pictures and as you may or may not know, I sold a customized quilled initial! I was so happy to do this because the customer was expecting a new grandbaby and I was to make an initial matching the nursery colors and a seahorse from the invitation. I'm happy to say that the customer was happy and I loved the way it turned out... Isn't the seahorse adorable and I love the colors of teal and pink together!
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…
You're such an artist, Jennifer! It's incredible!
