Desk Calender with Quilling

Image
Hi all, Made my version of a Desk calender with Quilled flowers and diecut butterflies, i really dont know the meaning of diecut always thought that we need big machines like bigshot(only name i know :) ), then after searching i came to know that it can be of any shape as long as i cut the shape.  Handdrawn the butterflies and cut and added some glitter on it.Here i used Diecut,Flowers and Glitter so satisfies the diagonal coloumn from BINGO of Beyondgrey challenges.  Learnt to make a braid  from here , which i kept on top of the calender. Used binding rings for the first time. I am also submitting   for the love of crafting    only recently i came to know the meaning of CAS. As it was said to submit any project, i think my calender qualifies as a project.Please tell me whether this is called a CAS proj ,if not  i will delete my entry. Hope you all like it Entering to http://kalalayaa.blogspot.ch/2012/08/challenge-9-cas-projec...

First box

Image
Hi all  Atlast completed my box, i have done a box with drawers, saw the youtube for this, I tried this box few days back and after i completed the actual box my friends son pulled all the drawers inside ,squeezed and what not,saw only after they left, was very depressed that i was not able to submit inspite of trying my first box made by doing all the measurements with scale. Thats the reason the box after opening is uneven. Some how decided to repair it and decorated with design paper and quilled on the lid.  Pasted few stickers of leaves ,flowers and butterfly inside the box. Wanted to try Inna's beautiful poppy flower but mine turned out to be something :).  submitting to  http://snehalscreations.blogspot.in/2012/07/its-karuna-here-from-www.html http://joyfulstamper.blogspot.ch/2012/08/inspire-me-fridays-72-anything-goes.html thanks Kavitha

Happy Independence Day

Image
Hi all Wishing all my fellow Indians a Very Happy Independence Day of our Country. Made a simple proj with our Indian map and quilled flowers. Drew the outline with black paper strip,done with my fingers, now i think the tweezers would have been very useful,should get one, but i think it has come out well. Quilled flowes are tight coils in the shape of petal and middle flower is a fringed flower. I have done this on a cardboard. JAI HIND Took a picture with the webcam :) Hope you like it.

PRADYUMNA

Image
Hi all, Never thought that i would try quilling letters this soon. I read about the challenge by Pritesh about the quillography. I was little hesitant and was not confident whether i could do it, but somehow wanted to atleast participate in her challenge. I searched about it and  started doing it, I wanted to do my son's name after I started learning quilling from Smita.    My son's name is Pradyumna (Lord Krishna's son's name) so used the peacock colours(my most favourite colours).  I had a cardboard which is 27'' by 8.5''. Hope my entry qualifies as it was said to use minimum of A4.  I could not leave the rest of the cardboard blank so quilled a few animals. A monkey hanging between tree and letter P, A Snail on letter R, An Elephant carrying letter A (sorry if it doesn't seem like that :)) , A cat on letter D, A Rabbit with carrot under letter Y,  A Lion on letter Y and letter U, A hen on Letter M, A tortoise on letter N, A butterfly on ...

simple card

Image
Hi all, Made this card today using one and only punch i have. I tried doing it in a different way. am happy with the result and with my new flower, i have taken pics of the way it actually started. I am really very bad in explaining things. I actually made the flower and thought it will be well understood with the pics and made the step 2 and 3 again to take the photo. step 4 comes by taking 2 punched flowers and arranging on the step 3, keeping one flower normally and curling the top punched flower inside. And again on top of that i have cut one petal of the flower and pasted the ends. So it comes like a cup easy to hold the quilled punched flower.  Hope you will understand by the pictures. will take a clear picture at day time tomorrow, please bare with these till then. Punch used step 2 :I made the middle part of the flower by quilling the strip which has two petals of the punched flower and likewise do it for whole strip. step 3:   The base of the f...

Thankyou TEACHER

Image
Hi all, Made this card especially for two challenges, they are Pretty Paper studio and Hands 2 Hearts challenges. The card has a quilled girl carrying quilled roses to say thankyou to her teacher :).  As the theme this time in hands 2 Hearts is a 'special Teacher' and  used Hexagon and Triangle in my card which was the theme of Pretty Paper studio. The dress of the girl is a quilled Triangle,made the border for hexagon from punched flower(only have one flower punch :)). The border for the sentiment is done by fiskars paper edgers. This is the result of my 2month old quilling art i learnt. I don't have any Pattern Papers,punches,stamps nothing, so handwritten the sentiment . I think am only the oddone out in these challenges. I will definitely get it and try next time when i go to India. Meanwhile collecting all the information needed. Dr.Sonia thanks for your post about the craft shops in India, was very helpful. Hope you all like it and please tell me your comme...
