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.

Some leaves in progress

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

Quilling Fridge Magnets

Image
Hello and welcome back to my blog guys. This lockdown is simply making me share my new as well as older projects and connect with you all. Fridge Magnets with note holder clip I made these magnets last year for my Diwali exhibition. How I tested my magnet for display!😅 I was not planning for these to be a part of my diwali collection but then I found these stash of my tight coils I make in my free time. Yes I made tight coils and fringed flowers in my leisure time! So the flowers were an easy task and I just needed a base. Old collection of my tight coils Made these magnets base with my jute rope collection. And I loved the raw look they gave to my magnets. The tight coils I had were just pinched to make a teardrop shape and made a 5 petal flower for the magnets. I used the stick on pearls for the center of flowers and added just two tight coils of green color pinched in leaf shape. Hot glue gun came to the rescue for sticking the flower patch onto the jute
