Moving house

I am currently moving hose so it will be a while until I'll make anything again and have time to post it. My house is box city (you all know how it is) with no furniture as me and my husband moved into an unfurnished house. So there is a long way to go until we settle there.

This card is the last one I did before all this madness started.

Perfect fringed flower

I have to say I like my little fringing machine. It took me a while to get used to it but I like the perfect fringing that comes out on the other side. It was a bit pricey but a good investment in the end.

114/365 - Another quilled flower card

What can I say I really like quilling flowers.

I have to make some more cards to send to my swap-bot partners and then I want to go big. I want to try to make framed quilling. I never made anything bigger than a card so I'm a bit scared but I'll do it... soon.

105/365 - Quilled Happy Birthday card

I love quilling. I specially like the 3D texture, the feeling on my finger tips when I press down to stick the shapes it's feels me with great pleasure. Quilling helps me relax and wind down form a long day at work.

Quilling it's a wonderful craft.

I made this card for a swap bot again. (I'm really into swapping at the moment). The person I had to send it to makes beautiful cards using 3D cuttings. I made this card specially for her so she can experience another type of crafting using 3D shapes . Who knows maybe she will take up quilling. He he I love converting crafters into quillers.

Recycled flower card

Oh it's been so long since my last quilling.

I had been having such a busy period with getting married, going for a long honeymoon, starting a new job, commuting 3 hours a day, looking for a new house, going to the gym regularly....oh I need more hours in the day.

Well... I guess I have good excuses, anyway.... :-)

This flower is another piece made from recycled shredded paper. I'm really into recycling and using free materials for my cards.

Quilled flowers for swap-bot

I sign up on Swap Bot for a greeting cards kit. We had only one partner to swap with as it required a little bit of work to do. We had to include 10 cards, 10 envelopes for the cards, 10 embellishments and a box to go with it.

It was fun to make it all, but the most fun I had was making these little quilled flowers to go inside. I hope the receiver will like it.

73/365 - Quilled birthday card

I was just before going to someone's birthday when I realise that I didn't have a card for her. So I had to make one really quick.

Recycled paper quilled flower

Can you believe that this was made with shredded paper? Yes I made this flower with shredded strips found in someone's recycling point on the street.

That shredded paper that I found few weeks ago opened a new world for me. Because of that I started looking for more recycled paper strips and found a treasure. A big recycling bag full of coloured shredded paper. I couldn't believe my eyes how cool the paper was and it was for free.

The same day I started to quill this flower and I love how it came out.

Here is another similar flower I've done with the same shredded paper.

62/365 - 100% recycled

The drawing that you see underneath was sent to My REAL wall few days ago from B.

The flowers were so nice and simple that I felt the need to quill them and so I did. The strips that I used for this piece are the shredded paper that I found few days ago.

This is going back from where it came. I hope B will not get upset for altering her work.

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.

Quilled bookmark

I was inspired to make this quilled bookmarks from one of my flickr contacts Martina

They are a good practice as they help me to perfect my quilled shapes.

Spring blossoms

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 Flowerpot

This is the first piece of mail art for Mailart 365.

The theme for this month is to recreate some of the rubber stamps that I have in the house into quilled art work.

This first piece is a pot of orange flowers.

This is another card from the butterflies series. The card has 3 quilled roses in the middle surrounded by a oval frame of marquise quilled coils coils.

Underneath is a closer view of the inside of the card.

I received from Andy as a gift a butterfly card kit a while ago. I really liked it as I love butterflies. Now when I am quilling as well I found a better use for it.

Here are some classic quilled flowers quilled on one of the butterfly card.

Quilled Tags

As you probably realised by now I'm a "bit" mad about flowers.

This are more flower quilled on some blank tags. They are great to attach to a present.

Pimped photo

I've pimped this photo for Okadascat's project Something purple .

She is one of my favourite mailartists. Check her blog for some cool knitted ideas.

Red flower greeting card

This is another simple thank you card. One of the first one I've ever quilled. I'm still a beginner in quilling but I enjoy it a lot.

Daisys

White daisy, originally uploaded by Elena_H.

I quilled this white daisy to give it to my manager as a thank you for giving me 3 days off to study for my stats exam.

Underneath is another quilled daisy. I think they are great as a thank you card. They are easy and quick to do and they look nice and simple.

Abstract flower bouquet

Abstract flower bouquet, originally uploaded by Elena_H.

I discovered paper filigree less than a year ago when I accidentally saw a quilling book on Amazon. From that moment I fell in love with paper quilling.

Andy had a mailart lesson the other day and I wanted to be in the show. I had only 10 minutes in the morning before he will leave the house so I grabbed a postcard and some few already quilled coils and start pimping. Is not the best piece ever but this is one of the first I made and the bear looks cute, so I like it.

The quilling represents a abstract flower bouquet.
