Quilling Dream-catcher Moon Child

Hello friends, welcome back to my blog. I know its's been a long time since I posted anything. The past few days have been busy with a lot of things happening around. Apologies for not been around much.

Today I am back with a new project I am currently working on and is still in progress. The world is facing a global pandemic right now. Here in India it's no different. The government took some stern actions and we have been in a lockdown phase since past few days. So, I thought to utilize this time by returning here while working on my project.

Something about my project now. I am currently working on a dream-catcher. There are many projects and the one I am working on has many variations already worked upon earlier by many great artists. The favorite part of this dreamcatcher project is the moon in it. Born under cancer zodiac, I have been a moon-child. In today's harsh reality, this is my escape to the fantasy world. Since unable to wander anywhere my soul has been wandering to the fantasy world and I feel like I belong to the moon, on the moon.

I searched on Pinterest for some template to work on and found a perfect picture to start with. Initially I just drew and colored without thinking about making a quilled version. This was only for my collection of colored projects. But later I couldn't resist and started with the quilling too.

WIP with quilling the tight coils


Have just started with quilling some tight coils. Bunches of leaves are still work in progress. This is an impromptu project and I have not been able to decide what sort of flowers should I quill on this. The techniques used widely is that of Quillography but I am not that proficient so will try to search alternatives. I'll update this blog or probably work on its sequel to show the final project.

A song that has been on loop while making this project...
हैं चाँद से यारी, हो  तारो का आँचल, मीठी सी इसकी जुबां  
है इसको इतना सा ही डर की हो न जाए फिर सहर यहाँ 
- Raat Ki Kahani by Arjan Singh


Stay tuned.
Till then, Stay Home. Stay Safe.
See you soon with probably my 21 days coloring projects.

Dream Catcher Part 2

Image
Hello and welcome back with my second post of my previous project. The dream-catcher is finally done and I love the way it turned up. Here is the link to my first part of this project. Dream-catcher  I was not hoping to use strips for the strings of dreamcatcher but turned out I ended up with one. While I was working on the inside strings, I thought of giving it a try since I had a lot of time now. Owing to the lockdown days I was gradually able to finish up the project with strips only. It was a tedious work since using the cut strips was a level up for me. I used my roses from the flower collection this time. They seemed pretty well to go with the color theme. This may not be a perfect work but it came out better than I imagined when I started. Roses View This took a long time than I expected but it was worth every moment. Working with 3mm quilling strips for entire project and making roses with 10mm strips. I refer to the tutorial for making roses

A warm hello to all my readers. This post is about a simple colorful floral card quilled for the occasion of Birthday. I love this sunny yellow card with colorful flowers. The leaves have been punched using Jeff punch. 3 in 1 corner rounder for 10mm round edges of the base card. White paper doily of 3.5" adorns the flower bouquet. The inside of this A5 card is blank to write your personal message.  Blue, Orange and Pink flowers have been quilled in marque shaped coils with a tight coil centre using 3mm quilling strips. Yellow flower has been made using tight coils shaped in teardop. Mustard flower is a teardrop shaped 6 petal flower. All the flowers have been adorned using flatback pearls. The quilled leaves are also marque (eye) shaped. The purple is my favorite when it comes combining with yellow color. So the birthday banner has been made from purple cardstock with handwritten sentiment. The envelope was also handmade from a printable av
