Garden on the hill and flower maid

I love landscape quilling. specially gardens and vintage ladies. This is about the 10th landscape quilling I have done. took me about a week cause the flowers are so small and it took time as it was a strain on the eyes and fingers as well. I hope you like it as I do

Love is in the air is my Theme

 No 1 is a quilling of a pair of Toucans. The male toucan is trying to draw the attention of the female on the above branch

No 2 is a pair of  Giraffes in a very romantic mood

No 3 is a Peacock and hen . I have done a similar quilling long time ago

No 4 is tweeter trying hard to impress tweety with his love talk

No 5 Is a couple of swans whispering sweet nothing as all couples in love


Love is in the Air was the theme of a quilling group who was having a challenge competition and wanted me to be the artist of the month. I had not quilled for about 2 years now and was in two minds if I should accept it or not. My fingers had not been working on quilling for some time and I was not sure if I had lost touch of it but it was an inspiration to start again. So I started with the swans which I know is not too good but went on with the peacock then tweety and and the giraffes and last,  the toucans

 So here is my new quillings for you to judge . Hope to do more this year though God knows what I am going to do with all my quillings

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 :)

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. 

Quilled Jungle Fowl = The National bird of Sri Lanka

It's nice to be blogging again after a long time. Sometimes we feel that nothing is quite interesting in life and spend our precious time watching the idiot box. I feel that is the most appropriate name for the TV. I have been doing this for the last month or two not being in a mood for hobbies. Now I am back with my first project for 2014 & hopefully create more new designs in quilling.

 A LITTLE DESCRIPTION OF THE BIRD TAKEN FROM WIKIPEDIA

As with other junglefowl, the Sri Lankan Junglefowl is strongly sexually dimorphic: the male is much larger than the female, with more vivid plumage and a highly exaggerated wattle and comb.

The male Sri Lankan Junglefowl ranges from 66–72 cm (26–28 in) in length^[3] and 790–1,140 g (1.74–2.51 lb) in weight, essentially resembling a large, muscular rooster.^[4] The male has orange-red body plumage, and dark purple to black wings and tail. The feathers of the mane descending from head to base of spine are golden, and the face has bare red skin and wattles. The comb is red with a yellow centre. As with the Green Junglefowl, the cock does not possess an eclipse plumage.

The female is much smaller, at only 35 cm (14 in) in length and 510–645 g (1.124–1.422 lb) in weight, with dull brown plumage with white patterning on the lower belly and breast, ideal camouflage for a nesting bird.^[4]

The Sri Lankan Junglefowl is most closely related to the Grey Junglefowl,^[5] though physically the male resembles the Red Junglefowl. Female Sri Lanka Junglefowl are very similar to those of the Grey Junglefowl. Like the Green Junglefowl, Sri Lankan Junglefowl are island species that have evolved side by side with their similarly stranded island predators and competitors. Uniquely complex anti-predator behaviors and foraging strategies are integral components in the long evolutionary story of the Sri Lankan Junglefowl.

Hope you like it and will be back soon with another creation. Happy quilling till then :)

Quilled puppy in a gift basket

A little pup as a birthday gift in a basket, with flowers. The idea was from an embroidery design site. Most of the strips are 1/8" and a few in 1/16".Hope you like it. Happy quilling till I am back with another project :)

Meet My Sweet Little Valantine (Quilled)

First of all I would like to wish all of you followers,visitors and friends who never fail to visit my Blog and leave all those lovely comments, a very happy Valentines Day. Hope you have a romantic day with your valentine :)
Valentine's day is special for all who love one another. So why not Kitty and Doggy ? They are so in love. The inspiration for this quilling is from an embroidery design I found on the web. I never like to do cards cause all my valuable time and effort would end in some dust bin. I do wall hangings as it may end up on a wall or in a place of respect ( lol) at least for a while.
Read a lot on blogs and facebook of quillers steeling other quillers designs and pretending, it to be their brain wave. Creating a quilled picture is nerve racking and only the original designer goes through all of it. Doing a copy is easy as the picture is there for an idea. So please make use of the idea but don't duplicate. Try doing your own pictures. You may fail at first but keep on practising and you would be a master of it.
Happy quilling friends, till I think of something new :)
