NOT Just Another Mom

I gave you a sneak peak of my quilled cross and it is now complete and framed.  Something about a cross in whatever colors or styles, it always reminds me to live my life by God.  It represents what he gave up for me and that I should always remember ... As a side note, I've had a lot of people ask about the border and the two toned flowers.  These were precut strips I bought at my nearby craft store.  The strips are fringed and cut to form various flower shapes.  I used one style as the outline for my cross.  Here is a link about the strips on my Facebook page.  https://www.facebook.com/QuillingFun/posts/882561315131234

I have decided to quill another cross. No, not just another cross; every one is different and everyone perceives it differently. What does the cross represent to you? I have attached a time lapsed video of a fanned flower on my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/quilling fun. Also, I am giving you a sneak peak of what's to come...

I decided to work on something new and I wanted to be a little abstract this time.  I had it in my mind the phrase "In God all things are possible." Even though I sometimes don't understand why things in life occur, I know there is a reason far beyond my comprehension for it happening. I always in the back of my mind think, trust in Him.  I used a metallic blues card stock for the cross which seemed to give it an almost cloud like essence with varied shades of blue and yellow quilling strips.  I first layered the card stock pieces for the cross and glued them down.  Next, I cut out the swirls of card stock in the aquamarine blue and metallic blues.  I then glued them down to where they almost flowed from the cross.  On top of the card stock, I then used different techniques of quilling to add the top layers.  I hope this picture conveys my thought process of His love flowing out to all. Have a nice day!
