Quilling after some time. Sorry dear fans don't quill very often now as involved in other commitments. will try to create more quilling often in future. This is another quilled garden in summer done to be gifted to my sister. 

Special Greeting Cards

These two cards were made with  left over strips and  goes into my collection of hand made cards. So many quilled cards and pictures. What am I going to do with them? Most of my cards are experiment quilling designs. I have used only 18" strips of paper. Even for the bunch of blue fringed flowers. There are 9 little flowers in the bunch. Did not take much time to do the cards. It is to make use of my free time till I think of something special to do. Hope to come up with something different soon ;)

Card for Susan

This card was supposed to be for a crd challenge on face book, but I could not post it on the due date. Anyway it was meant to be a greeting card specially for Susan of "Susan Quilling Card" which was on the 9th of September. I have used the boarder punch, quilling and cut work on paper which is also called paper, lace cut work

Niyagala Flower better known as Glory Lily

The Glory Lily is the national flower of Zimbabwe. It grows mostly in jungles. The flower is extremely colourful and beautiful, but never grown in home gardens. Not in my country anyway. If eaten, it is as deadly as cyanide. There are many true stories about people committing suicide by eating the yam of this plant and I myself have come across a young boy who had a fight with his parents and died by eating it. It happened many years ago.

I wanted something to quill but not anything that would take long. I have this little crimpler that I made with my sons LEGO car wheels and was just crimpling some left over strips when I got this idea of the flower. The hardest part of my quilling is the idea of what to quill. Since I don't like doing what someone has already done, I need something different always. Creating it did not take long. The strips of paper is 1/8 inch. I needed just three colours. Red, yellow and green. It isn't a difficult flower at all.
