More of Wendakai's Quilling Art

I've started a new blog on quilling art and crafting.  It's at: http://quillingartandmore.blogspot.com/ 


Once again, quilling is the art of paper filigree, or rolling strips of acid-free paper into shapes to create art designs.  Learned this from my mom.  I wasn't sure I'd have the patience, but I'm having fun.  :)  I tried to add to my other page, but something isn't right, so here we go with page two.  Here are samples of what I'm working on now, October 2010, for an upcoming Xmas sale.  I'm also hoping to do a butterfly, at least one bird (but hopefully two) and more kid pics.  But the tags and cards are actually popular, so I'm doing up a supply of those. 

Gift tags.  Not all the designs I use but gives you the idea.

Cards:  2 Xmas designs plus a mixed media Get Well design.  Planning to do more mixed media cards.  Like the way this works.  :)  Below, more holiday cards.

Stencils, stamps and photos are great to work with to create some nice designs. 

Hopefully when I get some pics done I'll be able to add them to this page. 

The quilling art earrings I'm working on... pointsettias in progress!

And, the butterfly I made.  No, not my daughter, another one:

Make wings, add body, make background and frame.  Whew.

Shadows make it hard to see, but there's my butterfly.  Totally inspired by my mom's quilling art.  :)
