Quillography 'home'

Hey everyone!

This month's theme at the Indian Quilling Challenge is to create something with some quillography (or quilled typography) in it . For my DT project, I decided to make a wall decor for my home. Already shared it on the IQCG blog yesterday, sharing it here today:-

 

. I thought about various words for the typography that I can work upon, and finally zeroed in upon 'home' .I wanted to make something very original, something that truly expresses what I have in my mind.

I have used both 5mm and 3 mm width of quilling strips to make this one.

The frame was inspired from the tutorial shared by Inna on her blog here. Loved her clear and simple explanation.
 I did struggle a bit while assembling the frame together, maybe because my scoring was a little inaccurate. Your measurements and the scoring need to be very accurate for a perfect frame. I used some cello tape on the corners to keep them approximated. Hopefully, I'll come up with a perfect frame next time :)

Well, that is my idea ofa dream home, what's yours? Would love to know. :)


Thanks so much for visiting. Have a great weekend!

Pushing the Envelope(s)

Hey Everyone,
Toay I'm sharing a project I made using spare envelopes by giving them a makeover.

caution: Picture Heavy Post

Here are the pics:

 Yes, it's a Utility Wall Hanging made out of three spare envelopes. I have taken a few step-by-step pictures so that it's easier to understand the process.

The two corners are folded as shown

The rear side of the envelope, corners are secured using cello tape

The base paper is a red coloured handmade fiber paper that I have been hoarding  since long and now got a chance to put it to good use . I love it's texture. Covered the rear side using a black card stock. I forgot to take the pictures of the rear side, will try to take it soon and upload it.

The peacock and the swirls are quilled using 3 mm quilling strips.

 The spiral roses are also quilled using a white paper from a drawing book. After trying out many types of roses, I settled with spiral ones because I failed miserably at all my rose making attempts  they turned out really good finally. Phew!! :P What do you think ? :D

 Stamped the chevron texture stamp randomly for some grungy look.Finally decorated and embellished with some pearls and rhinestones

And this is why I call it Utility Wall Hanging :D
