Last snowflakes this winter

It's time for spring now.

Quilled Snowflakes

Is that time of the year again when we decorate our house and the Christmas tree. I personalty have a small tree this year so I wouldn't need loads of quilled snowflakes to fill it.

I like quilling snowflakes so I'll make loads more to give as a present.

I have lots of quilled coils prepared so there will be more on the way.

All these snowflakes are different and I am planing on making more different ones.

Keep your eyes open as new quilled snowflakes desings will come.

Prize from Crimson Cloud

Oh I didn't blog for a long time now. I've been extremely busy lately with my work relocation and summer it's not a good time for making crafts anyway. Summer is way too precious here in England. We have very few sunny days in this country and I need to make the most of it so at the moment I'm out most of the time. And quilling is not something that I would take out for a picnic in the park. I don't trust this windy weather with my tiny strips. Deep down inside I kinda want the winter back so I can quill every night again.

Anyway this post is to say thank you to Crimson Cloud and 365 Cards for this lovely prize.

I won this prize on a competition, a while ago, on 365 Cards and my card (underneath) made me one of the spotlight designers. Yay that was definitely a great day for me.

This is the first prize I won doing quilling (and the second ever in my life).

Weeeeeee're having fun

This is a card that I did for the second challenge of the week on 365 Cards Day 105 - Mega movie Monday

The shapes that I used in this card were inspired from the "Quilling design-a-day Calendar".

61/365 - Bored at work 2

Another day of making art at work although I'm working in research. (shhh don't tell my boss). Today I came prepared with my own glue which is better suited for quilling than a pritt stick.

I'm in a snowflake phase at the moment so I rolled the shredded paper found the other day in the bin and came up with this totally recycled hanging snowflake.

59/365 - Quilled snowflake

Another challenge for the 365 card was to make a card that has a square, an oval and a diamond.

Again the snowflake is not as white as it could be because of the coloured edges that the paper strips came with.

This third card of the quilled snowflake series goes to one of my favourite flickr contacts.

58/365 - S is for snowflake

This is the second in the quilled snowflake series. I made this for day 329 on 365 cards.

The pattern and the paper strips comes form the quilling pattern a day calendar that I've bought a while ago. I have to say that that I'm not very happy with the quality of the paper that comes with. The strips have funny coloured edges that gives the quilling a weird look. Well I guess that's one of the reasons why the calendar didn't become popular.

57/365 - Winter is almost over

For the day 332 -This and that on 365 card we had to make a card that has a lot of yellow and is meant to cheer someone up.

I came up with this quilled snow flake card . The pattern and the paper strips comes form the quilling pattern a day calendar that I've bought a while ago.

At the same time this is my number 57 out of 365 that I make for my other project Mailart 365

Quilled snow flake from Martina

I received this beautiful snowflake from one of my flickr contacts Martina last Christmas.
It's a nice piece. It's the first quilling I've seen in reality (not internet or books) apart from mine of course.
