Creative quilling of leaves and flowers with corned beef can opener

Here is another new tutorial of quilling petals for flowers and leaves that I invented with a corned beef can opener.
Just chip off the top of the key from near the cut so it will look like "Y".
Now doesn't it look like a quilling needle ?
That is all you need to create the beautiful card I have done on this video.
Now all you need is strips of paper and glue to create whatever you desire with this tool in the way I have shown
Even little children could use it for kids creations. This is my experiment and invention like all my other tutorials.  Hope it would help you but please show some respect in not duplicating as your idea cause it has happened to me and many more quillers who are kind enough to share there ideas with others ungrudgingly.

Quilled flower decor for centre table



Thought would take a break from wall hangings & do a table decoration. The flowers could be protected from dust and fading because of the glass cover. The case is expensive but with all the trouble taken creating such a delicate project, I think it is worth and can be sold at a good price for people who appreciate hand creations and who knows how hard it is to create such dainty flowers. Hope you enjoy looking at it and get an idea too may be to turn out something nicer :)

Frescos of Sigiriya, Sri Lanka in Paper Quilling

                                                                                                                                                                        A little bit of history on Sigiriya for some of you who do not know about it (article from the Book Sri Lankan  history)                                                                                                                                                  
        Sigiriya being a fortress, had been well designed for its defenses by having ramparts and moats built around it. There are several approaches to the inner city and the most prominent is the Western entrance. From the summit of the rock, the land areas up to distances of tens of miles can be watched making it hard for the enemy to make a surprise attack to the kingdom.
King Kassapa had reverted his fortress to an ecological wonder by having Royal Pleasure Gardens, Water Gardens , Fountain Gardens and Boulder Gardens made inside the inner city as well as at the palace premises on the Rock summit.
The most renowned is the Sigiriya Rock Paintings or Frescoes of Sigiri Damsels locally called as ' Sigiri Apsaras' painted on a Western Rock face cavity about 100 meters high from the rock base .There now remains around 21 paintings of Sigiriya Damsels but there had been around five hundred paintings during King Kassapa's time along several other places of the same   Western Rock face                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   This is one of the largest wall hangings I did in quilling. It is 24'' by 18'' and I have been quilling around 3000 little bits for the picture. The frescos are very old and the colours are not very visible, so I have used my own colours. I bet the paintings may have been multi coloured and very bright cause even after many years of being exposed to sun and rain, they still look beautiful. It took me about a month to complete & wasn't very easy either. Hope you like it

Pianist in quilling

A picture I quilled for a girl who is a pianist. Would have like to do a better job but she gave me a few hours only as she had a presentation to be done and this picture was included in it. So just had time to quill the girl & bit of the piano only.
