Muddled Mutt - Graphic Quilling Picture Landscape Art

Wellll... this graphic quilled mutt  looks so confused that he reminds me of a poster I saw at one of my work places... " I've tried so hard to turn into what you want me to be that I've forgotten what I am..." and he had the same dumb look on his face.

For this one I used a combination of strips and quilled loose coils. I tried to get the wrinkled look by crushing the coils before shaping them. I think it came out kinda cool. Just the way I wanted.

Both the eyes differ on purpose.

Graphic Quilling Picture Landscape Art- Bambi & Thumper Twittypating

I Love Bambi so I thought I'd try quilling a line drawing. This is done graphic quilling style and was created by pasting a single strip in place of lines.Wow! I like the way it turned out.

I quilled tight coils for the nose & eyes. To get the highlight in the eye, I pasted a white tight coil after shaping the black coil and pasted it to the side and then wrapped it around in black once again. I am proud of the way the eyes turned out, as I have managed to maintain the innocent sparkle in the eye.

And for the foliage I used left over fillers and paper. The round flower is beehive quilling , the grass flowers are created by folding the strip up & Down while holding it between your thumb and index finger and then encircling and pasting the strip.

I usually use the beehive circle for treetops and the zig zag circle for quilling images.

Quilled Picture Landscape Art- A Feathery Discussion

This quilled picture of birds came out really well.
I have used Husking for the head and tail. For the male's tail feathers I fringed a 3mm . blue strip slightly and pasted to the husked tail feather.

I created the branched and the bird's feet by rolling the paper on a toothpick like a cylinder.

The leaves are my own creation. I just cut it in shape and folded it at the center and then folded it like a fan . I love the look.

The big mistake I made was not thinking of the background before quilling the birds. Then I had to quill round the birds to create the backdrop which took me a lot of time. Beginners please don't make the same mistake.

Quilled Flowers- A Symphony of Daisies

Well I've been quilling my thumbs off trying to quill landscape pictures, so I thought I'd take a break and quill some simple 3d flowers and this is the result.

For the daisies I made the yellows fringe with 1.5 cm 2"strips and pasted .75" brown strip of same width and the fringe is slightly broader. This was pasted to 2cm white strip which I cut with a scallop pinking scissor and fringed even broader.

The stems are made of brown strips which are cut narrow and gradually broadening towards the end. This was wrapped around a cocktail stick and the edge which overlaps was gummed slightly to prevent the stem from unwinding.

The ribbons are multi-strips grpahic quilling.

A venit primavara...

            S-a topit zapada, e cald si frumos afara si cat de curand o sa vedem pomii infloriti. Imi place la nebunie sa vad pomii infloriti, o multime de culori, asta starneste imaginatia de a creea. O sa raman la tablouri deocamdata caci am o multime de idei in minte si cum se apropie noul targ de Paste mi-am pus in cap sa fac o multime de tablouri cu flori, preferatele mele. Asa ca am sa va innebunesc putin cu florile mele o perioada. Fiti rabdatori  caci nu am de gand sa fac 2 tablouri identice si am in plan cam 25.
            Ce o sa vedeti?? Pai sa vedem : albastrele, violete, maci, margarete, gerbera, crizanteme, trandafiri, floarea soarelui, lalele, crini, frezii, orhidee, cale , ajung?? Daca nu ajung atunci am sa incerc sa fac florile in ambele variante: quilling si paper art sau cum s-or numi. Toate tablourile le puteti vede la targul handmade de Pasti din Bucuresti. Sper sa va placa.
