Yellow Rose Necklace

On seeing the rose set I made, my niece asked a neck set for her and she was so specific she wanted only in yellow colour, and it should not have any pendant and it should be close to the neck. Phew!!! These kids.

But, I did make her one such set and after making it, I found that the yellow roses are quite plain. So added a small very small kundan stone in the middle of the rose and it gave a very majestic look to the set.

Complete set using quilled rose

Making of quilled roses never cease. That too I just cant stop making one set. When there is an order for a rose set, there is a multitude of orders coming all along and I get to do a few more sets. The first set was ordered by another blogger friend for her niece and it never stopped. But in every set, I have tried to give a difference in the bracelet, if I am asked to make one. This is a simple rose set with a rose bunch for pendant, Four roses for ear ring and a hair clip with single rose and a chain bracelet with roses in between. It turned out pretty well and the little girl for which this was gifted liked it very much.

Valentine's Special of 2015 - 1

I wanted to create something with heart for last year Valentine's day. So tried making two hearts. Infact I wanted to inter link those two hearts but could not succeed. Wasted a few strips in trying so. This year have learnt a technique and I am working on it. Will post it soon. This is something like a small heart on a bigger heart and I thought of making it as a pendant, but one of my friends wanted it to be made it as a key chain to be gifted to his wife and here it is. Used 5 mm strips for the entire work. Made tear drop shape and fused them together to form a heart. In the bigger heart, each tear drop contains 2 strips and were made as loose tear drop. In the small heart, each tear drop contains one strip made into a tight tear drop.

Quilled Angry Bird 3D

I am sharing a few of the older projects that I have made last year. There were some items that I made for order and a few were made for gifting purpose. When a customer ordered a lot of rose ear rings I thought of gifting her something which she can either have it in her counter top or use in her car as a dangler or stick to the dash board of her car. But she did a great gesture of gifting the same to a special child who was very happy in having it. That very thing gave me even more happiness than she using it personally. A 1000 and more thanks to her. And that really made my day when she shared it.

Used 5mm strips for the entire piece. There are 25 strips of red and 25 stips of white. The ears were made of 2 and 1 strips each. The nose were made of 1 yellow strip each. The white part of the eye is a 1 strip of 5 mm and the black part is 1 strip of 3 mm.

Quilled Ganesha for Dangler

#Project366, Day12

After making the crimped dangler, I felt it looked very simple and plain. So wanted to add something to both the sides.  A small and cute Ganesha is ready to be struck to one side of the dangler. Thinking of what to do for the other side. Before doing it, here is my cute Ganesha. For the reference of size, I have added both the original picture and the zoomed one. Making of Ganeshas always are fun and give me peace too.

Quilled flowery magnet

#Project366, Day11

A small flowery magnet to stick the essentials to the fridge. The 10 mm woody colour strips which were just a few left came in handy to make this flower. Simple but useful.

Quilled Kumkuma Chimiz on leaf

#Project366, Day10

Another first try of this kind. Though I have already made Ganesha on leaf, wanted to try something to be given to every one in Thamboolam when they visit our home or during festival occassions. Ofcourse this is just a try so I am not that much worried about the outcome. I missed the quilling comb tool somewhere (only to find it after making the entire thing), so used normal comb and so the outcome of the leaf was not that satisfactory. Still this have given me an idea and soon you will see something new and different with the same concept. 

Crimped dangler

#Project366, Day9

Wanted to make something as dangler. Though I have not added any bells to it, I wanted something to sway with the wind. So have tried with crimped strips. Though these are 10 mm strips, after crimping, I was not able to make a tight coil with them. Ofcourse that is also something good as I was able to shape it out with ease. I made a triangle with a slight bend at the top. The pink and cream colour mix is something new. You can infact see some glue as I tried to apply to make it tight. 

The smallest and cutest Teddy that I made

#Project366, Day8

I wanted something to stick on to the front page of my kid's school project as a part of the decoration. So tried making a small teddy face. It definitely turned out real cute. And here it is. It was just the face alone. I am sharing both the close up view and also the normal click for you to understand the size of the teddy.

Quilled Coasters

#Project366, Day 7

It all started as yet another day and I was making circles out of the strips that was strewn around after making a project. The colours were mainly yellow, orange and brown. So made circles out of them and attached together and encircled it in a square of brown strip and here it became a simple tea light candle holder or can be used as a coaster too. The combo of yellow, orange and brown gives a enchanting effect.

A simple quilled fridge magnet

#Project366, Day6

With a few lot of work around, I was able to do something for today's project only by the end of the day. Was planning to make a few fridge magnets to hold up the things that I normally stick to in my fridge. Fridge magnets are the one that I often miss. So started making one such fridge magnet.

Shall I call it a plate of roses yes that will be the apt word.

Made a small plate using 5 mm white strips. Added 3 roses. Two in baby pink and one bright pink to enhance the other two. All these was ready in just 15 mins. Thanks to the rose making bug in me.

Embossed Painting of Aalilai Krishna

#Project366, Day 5

Another embossed painting. Aalailai Krishnar, painted using water colour pens. These kids definitely come in handy and easy to paint too. The water colours dry faster and they give a good effect too. This I am planning to frame and gift to some one.

MDF Cut out painting

#Project366, Day4

We have been waiting to do something for holding all our keys. Though there is one key holder currently, me and kids wanted to use one of the Ganesha cut outs that I had got earlier last year to make one holder for us. And we got time to do it only for this project 366.

Painted the mdf cut out with water colour pens and decorated it with Fevicryl 3D Cones and glitter cones. It turned out really good.

Embossed painting using Water Colour Pens

#Project 366, Day-3

We get printed black sheets with different designs. The colour that comes with the kit is mostly glass painting colours. I wanted to try some thing new in those sheets. Used Sakura Water Colour pens, that I purchased from Ananda Stationery mart. The resulting effect after ironing on the reverse is amazing. Planning to frame it. 

Quilled Key Chain

#Project -366, Day2

After learning the weaving technique, I have been making only thorans and garlands using it. Wanted to make something small and tried a different kind of key chain, which can also be used as a hip chain. As of now I have attached the key ring to it and have not attached any jingles. Soon will add them too and post a picture in this same post. So keep watching for it.

This is what I made for Day 2

Pink Garland with Roses

#Project366, Day - 1

The technique of boondongling in quilling is something different and unique. It doesnot need any tools to make it. The knowledge of proper weaving technique is all that is needed. One can make any colour combinations and this can be made in strips of any size. The bigger the size of the strip, the garland becomes bigger. 2 or 3 mm strips can be used as neck wear. They can also be converted to danglers. In the coming days will post one such set.

Here is the garland made of pink with 3 pink roses in the middle covered with glitter glue to give shiny effect in the night light is made for one of the big pictures that hang in the walls of my parent's home. Hope you all like it just the way I like it too. The garland and the roses are made of 15mm strips.

Video of the same will follow soon.
