Re: Quilling
Okay, that is pretty badass I've had a go at quilling in the past & can do quite a nice hummingbird but nothing anywhere as neat as that. I don't have the patience. And even if I did, I get in too much of a mess with the glue

Re: Quilling
Thank you both
Velma, it's nice to meet a fellow quiller although really I just fiddle and hope they work out not too bad lol.
I have to be honest, I did lose patience with Darth Vadar, and wished I hadn't started it several times lol.
It's only a 6x6 birthday card which means most of the paper pieces are exceptionally tiny, I had to do it all under a magnifier, and yes there is glue everywhere lol.
A bigger version would be much easier to make, I must remember that next time I decide to make someone a card

Re: Quilling
Vader is amazing! Well done for sticking with him Willow.
I've dabbled with quilling in the past but a wrist injury has put pay to a lot of crafting activities like quilling and cross stitch I now just do scrapbooking as and when I'm well enough.

Re: Quilling
Hi Willow - that is amazing, I love them all especially the bird and the frogs!
How did you get into Quilling?
They look so professional,you could be onto a little business earner.
Where did you get the materials to make them?
I would love to see a hamster quill xx

Thanks Lizzie
In truth I read about somebody saying they did quilling and I had absolutely no idea what they were talking about so I had to google it to work out what they were talking about lol. Google pointed me in the direction of a couple of YouTube videos and from there I just thought I'd try it
It doesn't cost much to get started, you just need a quilling tool which costs aprox £2 and a pack of 3mm paper strips which also cost about £2 and a pot of glue
I get my paper from here, she sells everything you need plus lots of stuff you don't need too lol
The Home Of Quilling Supplies - JJ Quilling Design
I hope that helps

Re: Quilling
I really don't know how I've missed this for so long! All your designs are stunning Willow, there are some very lucky people out there getting cards from you
I've never tried quilling but I used to make a lot of cards & all of a sudden I'm feeling quite inspired to have another go!

Re: Quilling
Thanks Cypher, it's nice to make things for people, I'm glad your feeling inspired, I would love to see what you make
I'm thinking of starting on some simple Christmas cards today, they need to be simple because of being made in volume, but I have no idea as yet what to do on them, I'm waiting for the inspiration to hit me like it has you lol

Re: Quilling
My goodness, how many strips are in the robin?
Lovely work, you sure have a lot of patience! I too would love to see a quilled hamster!
For your Xmas cards, how about a bauble, holly with berries or a star. All of those should be easy to make in bulk!
