Quilled Wedding Theme On Photo

I had a special request for a gift for a couple who were very romantic and the giver had an idea to quill on a beach photograph. I had never quilled on a picture before and so after asking some of my special quilling friends, I proceeded to research into the best possible ways to go about it. I tested out several glues before deciding on one that was acid free and easy to manipulate with my 1/8″ strips. I first decided on photograph that was royalty free and totally commercial free to use yet had the simple background I needed for the couple to “stand” in front of. Then I chose the silhouette of the bride and groom (also commercial free to use).

The name, Flowers, and aisle are both outlined and quilled on edge using 1/8″ strips and the bride and groom are made using 1/16″ strips.

I hope the newly married couple love their custom quilled gift. I enjoy making things that I know will be special one of a kind gifts made just for them….

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…
