Double coloured garland

After learning the boondongling technique, which calls for no quilling tools, I tried making garlands. The first garland I tried was single colour but after I gained confidence I made a double coloured garland which I used to decorate the Ganesha during Navarathri.


Kumkuma Chimizh made for order

One of my friends asked me to make a few kumkuma chimizh. She asked me to design it as per my wish and I did it. 

My first kumkuma chimizh

I never thought that Kumkuma chimizh can be made in quilling. But when I saw images in net, I decided to give it a try and my first try was not too good a one. Though it was not clumsy I was not happy with the outcome.

Ganesha fridge magenet for an order.

When one of my quilling friends asked me whether I could take up the order which she have got for Ganesha Quilling magnets, as she is having other orders to be completed, I agreed to do it and the client ordered 60 Ganeshas and as they had a forest theme she wanted the Ganeshas to be in Green. And thanks to my kids who helped me in completing them and packing them in green gift wrapper too.


Contest entry for Indian Quilling Guild

Indian Quilling Guild conducts contests regularly. Though I want to participate, I feel that I am still not equipped to participate and I am not up to their standard. But I did try participating once when the theme was quilled heart and here it is heart o hearts that I made for that contest. The entire thing is made of Vellum Strips that I had purchased from Itsy Bitsy.


Wind Chime in quilling cone shaped

When there was a competition in one of the quilling groups in FB, I tried out my hands on traditional cone shaped wind chime in quilling. Though it did not win a prize, I got a few orders to make the same pattern to be gifted. The colours I used were vibrant orange, yellow and brown. The five layered cones made a perfect dangler with sounds.
