Paisley Quilled Earrings!!

Evening all,

Started quilling jewellery recently and I must say its addictive.

The above earrings are approximately 4.5"-3"and are made from strips cut from metallic papers. I like the glittery bling in earrings.Following are few steps showing how I created them.

The Paisley shape gets  bit tricky as I have not filled the whole thing, and to retain the shape once I got the desired shape I applied Modpodge over it and it did help. I experimented with beehive technique for the first time and it was fun.

Finally came the part of fixing the hoop and the jumkhas, and i confess it took a lot of time for setting it right. Last but not the least i coated the whole thing with Modpodge.

Quilled Earrings

Hello girls,

Here I am with my Quilled Earrings project for Adhiraa Creations, I have always experimented a lot with quilling but this is my first time playing with jewellery. I have hoarded those metal earring loops and a lot of designs since quite some time and I finally got some courage to put them to use for Use it Tuesday !!

Here i have used purple and blue tinted papers to cut the strips. I was pleasantly surprised that it dint take more thn 4 purple and 2 blue strips per earring.The earrings are about 4.5"-2" in size.

Few steps to it:

What I noticed is, initially the outer shape can be tricky to maintain, but once the filling is done it does retain the desired shape.I wanted to give it a traditional look, hence the spiral filigree!!

I want to thank Adiraa Creations for my attempt in Quilled jewellery !!

Quilled Shreenathji frame

Hey girls,

I am super excited today as i won my first candy today :) Never been so lucky, thanx to Colour Conceptions for the yummy candy !!

I am gonna showcase my entry for 2nd week at Adhiraacreations.

This is a Shreenathji frame I have made for my mom.

I sketched it myself and coloured it using dry crayons.The main technique I have used here is paper quilling as required by the contest. I prefer cutting quilling strips on my own from the tinted papers as it has more colour variations and they are thick and stiff to use, which helps in retaining the shapes.

  

I tried using golden glitter paper for the jewellery but somehow it gave a gaudy look to the whole mate finish so replaced it with golden brown. I have given quite a lot of detailing to  the border as well as u can see in the picture. The jewellery has a very delicate and intricate design.

The Saffan (head cover) of the portrait has paisley designs which gives it an Indian look.

Few close ups. I really love making a peacock feather with paper quilling,,i have kept it a little simple here.

Fairy fridge magnet !!

Hello gals,

Hope u all are enjoying the summer sun..its really hot and humid in my part of the world, but mangoes are sure fun.

I am here to showcase a new quilling project and here it is,

I prefer cutting paper stripes from the tinted papers, I like working with stiff paper as it retains the shape.

This is a fridge magnet I have made using handcut paper stripes, for the wand I have used a tooth pick.

Celebrating Womanhood !!

Cheers to all the lovely and beautiful ladies out there on account of Women's Day!!

A Women is an epitome of tenderness, love, care and wisdom.And a women is not complete until she attains motherhood.

MOTHER is likely one of those few words whose very cite inspires a fountain of emotions in the heart of almost every person. As very well said by a wise man- "The mother's lap is the first school for every child". It is his first temple; mother is his foremost god.

And on this special day i would like my mom to know how much she means to me and how she has helped me grow and be what I am, I want to thank her for  the nanoest things she has done for me.

This is the Jewellery Box I have made to gift  my mother to celebrate her Womanhood.

Thanx MOM-U rock !!

A 3D Quilled Jewellery box!!

The best and the worst thing about this project is that it does not require anything besides hand cut strips of tinted papers,glue,quilling tool,scissors and A LOT OF PATIENCE!!

The base.

The BEST thing being~That great feeling when u dont have to spend a lot to make something worth a lot.The minute you decide to make it,the only thing you need to do is open your storage,pull out some papers and start.

Box without the lid.

The WORST thing being~It gets too difficult when you dont have anything stiff to mount your quilled rolls and shapes on something stiff.Not just that you have to hold 2 rolls together till it semi dries and i would not recommend using quick drying glue as at places you need to change the shape or replace the roll when it does not fit in that particular circle.

Box with the lid.

The Dimensions: 8" broad and 5" tall aprox.

Materials : Blue, Green and Lavender tinted papers,

                 Quilling tool,

                 Glue and scissors.

Tuesday Throwdown http://tuesdaythrowdown.blogspot.in/2013/03/tuesday-throwdown-140.html

Quill to Thrill !!

I have always been biased towards Quilling.I love to transform simple hand cut strips into something so beautiful.

Orchids and Chrysanthemum

The Chrysanthemum and Orchids were created from the regular tinted craft papers..

Roses

The Roses are made using the super simple circular quilling technique..

Violets

Making the leaves was a real task here..

Lily of the Valley

The lilies can be a great filler between main flowers and the leaves can be framed according to the desired size.

Butterfly

This Beauty takes a lot of patience and gets real tricky.All the four wings are made separately and attached to the body in the end.

Outcome :)
