LDS's Quilling

OK, first off, I have posted a brief, little thread in here before about a quilled basket, but I am just going to use this one thread for all of my quilling pics!

First off, what is quilling you ask? Well: "Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. The paper is wound around a quill to create a basic coil shape. ...". Found from google!

Most quilling uses 3 mm wide strips, so very thin. Most of my quilling is 3D, so it's a little wider at 5 mm, for doing the 3D stuff! It involves using lots of paper...

OK, well, I have some links to some pics from a site that I post them in:

(she's what I'm looking at in my avatar)

Though I already had a thread on my easter basket, which was also my old avatar, here's a bigger version of it:

I am working on this one right now, LOTS and LOTS of work:

I will post a finished pic of it, too!
This last one, actually I already have a thread for, since it was inspired from a dream to make it. If you wanna read the story behind it, check out this thread:

I bet that I'm the first person ever to have a quilling thread in here, am I right :P?

I think you are :P

I can honestly say I have never heard of quilling before, its good stuff; and it looks like you are quite good at it.

Thank you, and yes I know that it's not common. For most people, they have never heard of it until I tell them about it!

Interesting, never heard of this before either! May have stumbled across some of it, but never really seen it defined.

Very interesting, I love it!

It's amazing. I was looking through my old books and I found a quilling book. I forgot I had that. I didn't even know it was called quilling I just thought it was some sort of craft book. I need to try it out. :)

I LOVE all of your artwork

P.S. All of you say how you love her artwork but you don't thank her for this thread?! :panic:
P.S.S. AND she is thanking you for your post too. You should thank her back.

All of these are magnets. They're on these plastic things for the bottom of chairs. Clever, huh :D?

This butterfly has two "stilts" on either side of the wings for a bit of a 3D effect :D.

I used pearl quilling paper on her. Can you tell?

EDIT: Rug is actually 7 inches by 8 inches! I just remeasured it! Oh, and with the mathematics and all of multiplying...the rug consists of at least 440 coils! If you don't believe me- do the multiplication for yourself!

I made two fish today

I am going to hang them up with clear thread stuff on my medicine cabinet, but for now the only way they can stay up is lip locked!

Hey, thanks guys!

Here's a fruit basket!

My camera isn't good enough for small stuff! This fruit basket is a little smaller then most of my stuff (yet I still used 20 feet of paper for the bowl), so my camera didn't want to cooperate with me!

I mean, "I love the rose ones", like this one

Oh, like the ones with all of the flowers xD? Thanks!

OMG, someone at school payed me cash, 5 bucks (though I know you don't use the same currency xD) because I gave her a 3D pot. It looked like the last pot I made on the first page. Someone else wanted one and give me money for it, but it was the end of the year and I had no time! I have also told myself that when I get older I am going to make quilling stuff for a craft fair and do it every 5 years because it would take me a while to make enough stuff :P.

sell it to the highest bidder, start at 50, 50, do I hear a 60? 70! 80! 100! Oooooo 100, anything more? 150! ooooo can anyone beat that? going once, going twice, SOLD!
06-27-2010, 04:31 AM

:D. It would be amazing! I think there would be someone out there that would want my stuff....someone once asked me if I've ever sold anything on Ebay...that would never fly with my parents, so that's why I'm thinking craft fair later...don't have to worry about a delivery truck, and all the "in the middle" stuff.

Long time no quill...and see, haven't been on DV much at all.

Well, I'm in the middle of making a quilling christmas tree, starting so early because I get on and off with quilling, so I have much still to go!

http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/3...eisland001.jpg

It's extremly heavy duty, I'm sure it could pick up something heavier then tacky glue! About 10 hours so far, and I still have to finish the tree, then base, tree skirt, tinsel (with gold paper, it'll look amazing!), ornaments, and some presents or something. It'll be adorable :D. My favorite things to quill are the ones that take me a long time, something to look forward to!
