Flower pot birthday card

I made this card for my best friend to give to one of her friends. She was going to a birthday party so I volunteered to make a card for her friend. I hope that friend liked it.

I had to take a photo of this in a hurry as my friend Alina had to go to the party with the card so the photo quality is not the best.

Quilling calendar 2007

Yay. My quilling calendar finally arrived. It "only" took 2 months to get to me. I ordered it from Canada and the seller send it to me by road/boat as it was the cheapest option. If he had chosen by air it would've cost me about 40 Canadian dollars.
It took ground to the Atlantic and then a ship to England and then road to London again. I didn't even thought that you can still send it like that. It took ages till I got it but at least I saved about £30.

This is a old version of Quilling Pattern-a-Day calendar, the 2007 one. It contains a quilling pattern for every day of the week and one for the weekend. They don't publish it any more as is too expensive to make and not enough people who buys it so that's why it's so hard to find one.

I'm really excited and can't wait to get started. In the out-coming posts you'll see these patterns incorporated in cards and mailart.

Quilled Lotus Flower

I really had fun quilling this. It's one of my favourite so far.

I did this for one of mine and Andy's project Mailart 365 . He made a Koi fish in a pond and I wanted to add a lotus flower. This is how the end product looks like.

Quilled Aquatic life

I decided to make this quilling scene as I love fish. Me and Andy have an aquarium at home but just a small one, only with fish no octopus or see horses unfortunately. :-(

This is the 8th piece for Mailart 365 witch was sent to a happy mailbox.

P.S. Unfortunately our camera broke and I had to take photos with an old one witch is very difficult to handle so the photo is not great. This actually looks much better in reality that in the photo.

I spent more than seven hours making this piece but I think is worth it. This is the 4th piece I made for Mailart 365 and I send it to one of my favourite mail artist.

The quilling represents a recreation of the drawing on the left.

Quilled skull

Skull, originally uploaded by Elena_H.

Andy told me few weeks ago about this guy who post a Skull a day on his blog. I had a look and his blog is quite amazing (the site is running for almost 3 years now, with skulls send from people from all over the world) so I decided to quill one for him.

I attached a string to the skull so he can use it as a Christmas decoration since we are in December. :-)

P.S. This made it on Skull a day.Check it out and see more amazing skulls.
