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…

Music is the beat of a drum that keeps time with our emotions. ~Shannon L. Alder I don’t know about you, but I have come to welcome this. Not the idea of a pandemic, but this quiet peace and calmness in our home. I often think that our lives are a whirlwind of melodies and rhythms competing with one another to such a fast tempo that doesn’t stop unless from sheer exhaustion from the hustle and bustle of the day. At first, everyone was anxious and angry to be confined, but now adjusting to the new tempo, I’ve had the time to enjoy my children’s conversation and company again. Their faces are no longer completely buried in their phones and we’ve begun to work on a puzzle. It’s been nice to see them well rested and no stress from tests. I’m enjoying my moment at this new tempo. The melody and rhythmic pace is soothing and beautiful for now. I’m sad that it took this extreme method for it to happen, but my emotions are adapting to the slower steady beat of the drum. May you all be blessed to stay healthy and try to find your own steady beat during this unsteady time. #coronavirus2020 #drumbeatoflife #emotions #quilling #hardships #positivevibes #positiveenergy #washyourhands

Remember the post from Valentines where I quilled the word love with the sign language in it? Well, I used my @excelblades to cut it out and then encased it in resin and glitter. I went a wee bit crazy with the glitter (I just can’t help myself) but it still turned out pretty cool for a coaster. Enjoy your weekend! Share the love…..💞💖💞 #lakemaryart #resinart #resincoaster #quilling #quilledpaperart #loveart #love #glitteraddict #paperquilling #quilledcreactions #quilledesigns #excel

Black bears are notorious for wandering around in our suburban neighborhood. I love to watch their slow and deliberate movements (from afar of course). They are humbling and fascinating creatures…. #newetsylisting #etsyfind #quillingfun #jenniferstacey #blackbearart #blackbearpainting #blackbeardecor #floralart #paperart #paperartist #paperflowers #etsyhandmade #natureart #wildlifeart #wildlifedecor

Day 30 – #amonthinpaper. Looking back at my early pieces, my lines were a little wonky, I used straight pins for everything (man it stretched the process out forever…), and my photo skills were severely lacking. I had a major learning curve and from practicing and experimenting, I’ve found better ways to do everything. I learned a lot from trial and error. I guess you can say I’ve come a long way babe….💗 #practicemakesperfect #artprocess #learningcurve #amonthinpaperday30 #paperartistcollective #workinprogress #motivation #quilling #paperart #jenniferstacey #quillingfun #madefrompaper #paperartist #wip #alwayslearning #paperquilling #paperartist #artwork #artlife #dailyart #dailygrind #lettering #typographyart #paperlettering

“Dare to Be When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light. When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it. When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway. When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back. When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some. When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going. When times are tough, dare to be tougher. When love hurts you, dare to love again. When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal. When another is lost, dare to help them find the way. When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand. When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile. When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too. When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best. Dare to be the best you can – At all times, Dare to be!” ― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free. #mandala #mandalaart #mandala_addict #mandala_sharing #mandalapassion #daretobe #digitalart #digital_art #digitaldesign #positivityquotes #lifequotes #bluemandala #applepencil #positivevibes #justbe #be #wednesdaywisdom #wednesdayvibes #instamood #instaart #instaquote

Day 28 of the #amonthinpaper challenge from @paperartistcollective . I can’t believe we’re coming to the end! Today’s prompt is support system. I’ve been blessed to have a large network of people who have supported me since day one. My family who puts up with tiny bits of paper and glitter everywhere and me saying, “Check out this one!” and all of you who are taking the time to read my posts and comment. Every time you do that, I am encouraged to keep honing in on my skills and growing as a creative. I look back and realize how much I’ve come and how far I want to go…. (but my goals are another days prompt! ☺️) So thank you and a huge shoutout to those of you who have said yay or nay and keep dropping by to see what I’m up to next! ☺️✂️🖌💐 Size- 8”x10” . . . . . . . . . #paperart #quilling #quillingfun #jenniferstacey #crossart #religiousart #quilledcross #paperquilling #paperflowers #floraldesign #wildpilotllc #madefrompaper #watercolorpainting #etsysellersofinstagram #etsyfind #religiousdecor #faith #thankfulgratefulblessed #paperartistcollective #amonthinpaperday28

Day 25- Favorite paperartists #amonthinpaper. I have quite a few, but these inspire me to keep creating and they are genuinely kind people. That goes far in my book….

Day 24 – Dream Collaboration/Project. I think my biggest aspiration is to work on a project with another local artist of another medium for an installation. Combining two mediums and styles to make something unique and uplifting. That would be pretty cool… #amonthinpaperday24 #paperart #paperflowers #jenniferstacey #quillingfun #quilled #quilling #quilledflowers #quilledcreations #artistsoninstagram #etsysellersofinstagram #etsywip #wip #fridayvibes #fridaymotivation #goals #artgoals #purpleflowers #purpleflower #weekendproject #paperartistcollective #paperartist #lgenpaper

Day 22- #amonthinpaper What I listen to while I work…. That’s not an easy one to answer. I’ve always been passionate about music and even taught music education and chorus for about 11 years until I moved to Florida. I love any kind of music, but here’s a list of some of my favorites… @lindseystirling @phantombway @postmalone @jimmybuffett @kennychesney @danandshay @ptxofficial @panicatthedisco @billieeilish @khalid @officialqueenmusic @official_flo @mandisaofficial @floridageorgialine @jjhellermusic . I know, I know, I’m all over the place. 🤣 Who are some of your favorites?

Day 20- Branding I’ve worked hard to create my brand. I created my logo from my own work and applied that to my business cards, stickers for frames, and have a stamp for all my packages. As for my style, I prefer simple designs with clean lines. I love creating custom art pieces. It can sometimes be challenging, but the satisfaction of creating something personal and unique that reflects a persons interests is worthwhile and so gratifying. #quilling #amonthinpaper #amonthinpaperday20 #branding #brand #quillingfun #paperart #inspiration #allmyown #beyourself #paperartistcollective #etsyshop #etsyseller #etsyartist #madefrompaper #paperlove

Finished painting this morning…. We have a lot of black bears that have visited us since we moved to Florida. So far, they just look at us and keep walking. But, we always have to keep a close eye out for when the mama bears are out with their cubs. I love the coloring of the flower with the pinks, reds, and yellow center. . . . . . . . . . #watercolorpainting #blackbear #watercolor #watercolorart #jenniferstacey #wildpilotllc #florals #watercolorflower #wip

Day 19- Inspiration. The works of @yulia_brodskaya_artyulia introduced me to quilling when I was trying to find something for my husband as a gift. I couldn’t believe this was made from paper! The swirls and color immediately drew me in. I had to try it….and of course once I started, I was hooked! #quilling #paperart #amonthinpaper #amonthinpaperday19 #onedgeinspiration #myinspiration

Day 15- #amonthinpaper. The perfect paperweight for me is 65lb. I love the feel of it as I run it through my fingers. Not too thin, not too thick. It rolls beautifully and it’s easy to manipulate. #imighthaveanaddiction #paperaddict #paperlove #paperartistcollective #cardstock #papercoil #quilling #quilled #papercrafting #fortheloveofpaper #madefrompaper #quillingfun #etsywip #paperart #paperartist

Day 14- Smooth or Textured I primarily work with smooth but have worked with both. Depends on the project. This is part of my newest custom design.

Day 12 of #amonthinpaper from the @paperartistcollective challenge. In context- I would have to say that the majority of my pieces come from requests for unique and more personal gifts. It actually started with basic things like favorite colors and their initial. Then people asked for even more personal details like favorite sports, activities, pets, and especially memories. These are just a few of some of those requests. Requests for a couple who were married on the beach, a couple who loved Texas, a child who loves playing the drums, a child’s nursery gift who’s parents were geologists, a couple who shared a memory of a beautiful trek (down to the color of backpacks they carried), and even a beloved pet. I put my heart and soul into my pieces and connect with my customers. That’s the context of my art and how it fits into the world and how it comes about…. if you scroll through my posts, you can see more. I get so much satisfaction from creating such personal art. #lovewhatido #passionforpaper #stateart #jenniferstacey #quillingfun #quillingfunonetsy #customart #customdecor #custommonograms #paperart #papercreations #artincontext #quilling #quilled #paperquilledart #texasart #memoriesforlife #memoriesinthemaking #memoryart #amonthinpaperday12 #typographyinspired #papertype

Day 7- Favorite Paper Art Discipline. This photo sums it up…. although I do like to dabble in other types, I keep coming back to those coils and swirls. #quilling #paperquilling #quilledpaperart #paperartist #quillingfun #amonthinpaper #amonthinpaperday8 #paperartistcollective #papercrafting #papercrafts #paperflowers #paperaddict

Day 7- Flat lay. This was one of my favorite makes. I love using different techniques to create.

Day 3- #amonthinpaper This picture is my color palette in a nutshell. I have a tower of card stock, my precut 1/8” quilling strips, and a notebook of my own cut strips of varied sizes. I try to keep a good amount of choices because I never know what I’ll need for a new project. I also keep a tub of file folders and bags for scraps and loose remnants or strips. #colorpalette #quilling #quillingpaper #paperstorage #quillingstrips #paperaddict #madefrompaper #nevertoomuchpaper #papermade #papercrafting #paperlove #paperart #paperartistcollective #fortheloveofpaper #quillingfun #etsyartist #etsyfind #custometsy #amonthinpaper

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

I’m joining in on the #amonthinpaper by @paperartistcollective albeit a few days late. I wanted to do a self portrait to introduce myself since I haven’t done that in a while. I’m Jennifer and I create paper art. I mainly do paper quilling, but I love to experiment with other techniques as well. I am a Mama to two amazing children, wife to an avid Alabama fan, owner of 2 furbabies, and preschool assistant teacher. ☺️ Finished size is 5.5” x 6.2” #cricutselfportrait #selfportrait #portrait #cricutselfie #papercrafting #quillingfun #papermade #paperfun #paperexperiments #paperaddict
