Pineapple Gift Box

Few days back we received an order for a decorative gift box for an engagement ceremony which had to be completed in just 2 days. We thought a lot and were not sure if we would complete it since both of us had guest at home. Since there was not a lot of time in hand, we had to hurry . We bought a plastic jar, ribbons, coloured stones, glue and started with our new creation. Our customer had given us the freedom to do whatever we wanted since she was impressed with our previous assignments. Folding those ribbons was a bit of a task but we were really very happy with the results. Also, our customer and the guests appreciated our efforts  during the ceremony and promised to give us business in the near future.

3 D Quilling in a glass

Hellooooooooo.....It's been long since I posted on my blog. I was busy with Diwali and a wedding of my cousin.

                Few weeks back my friend Gayatri had gone to Crosswords to buy some books where she came across a hawker selling clay and glass items. She bought few of these glasses (like shot glasses) and we had fun discussing ideas so that we could put them to some use. We thought of quilling on the outer surface since we keep trying on different bases. Finally, this is how I made miniatures and stuck them to a cardboard base. This definitely has multiple uses. 

             

                Hope you like them.

Quilling on Styrofoam plate

It was long back I posted something on my blog. Today on the eve  of our third wedding anniversary  I decided to write about my new creation. After all, 

“A successful marriage requires falling in 'LOVE' many times, always with the same person.”

 Phew!!! No more philosophy classes...Back to work now... :)

                  While cleaning my kitchen cabinet sometime back I found few styrofoam plates . Just thought of using  this as a base to quill something on it. I have used beehive technique to fill the circle . The effect... as if I have painted the centre...  
                 Quilling alphabets and numbers is something I' m still learning. The letters don't look that perfect since I did not use a computer print out. Well, will keep trying quillography till I succeed!!!  A small heart within the letter "O" has helped the letters look a little better!

 Hope you like it.

Quilled Cards

I had some simple card paper in yellow, black, green and blue at home. So, made few cards using quilled motifs along with kundans ( coloured stones ). It was fun making them. I know the cards would have looked better with a good quality card-stock.... 

Well, the next attempt would be with new card stock...definitely !!! Hope you like these...
