Quilled earrings!!

Hello all,

        Starting from December till January, it's all festivities, holidays, new year celebrations and then comes big festival Sankranthi. Love this season especially Sankranthi...Have fond memories of childhood with all our cousins meet at grand parent's place. On Bhogi early mornings we used to run to the bhogi manta(bonfire) at the end of the street...On Sankranthi pooja, new dresses and so many sweets.Yummm...Love those days...  All family gatherings, friends, holidays. Too many varieties of food  and for food lovers like me, It's heaven.. Ahhh almost forgot...Shopppppping. Too many offers to choose from. People who are crazy for shopping go nuts this time of the year(no, I am not at all a shopping freak). Holidays for kids' schools,vacation time :-) On the whole, two months jam packed with fun.

         And for quilling, today I am going to show you some of the ear rings I have made with quilling paper. I love paper jhumkas very much. The finishing we can achieve with paper jhumkas is unbelievable and don't worry, they are water resistant too. Now all my favorite dresses have a perfect matching jhumkas.. Happy me :-)

Here they go. I absolutely love them<3 what about you! Curious to know!

Black and gold! My best till date <3

Love the colors on the peacock!!

Black and white...All time favorite combo!!

These were the first quilled jhumkas I have made! Lot of improvement right!!

My first trail with Jhumkas!!

See you next time guys!!

Cheers,

Vinee

Quilled Tiger and Cub!!

Hello all,

       First of all A very happy new year 2017 :) Though bit late with the wishes, it's never too late :)  This is time of the year every one  have a list of things with priorities ordered!Yeah.. talking about Resolutions!! I am sure most of you would have finalized your list for this year 2017...That's a good step...but people like me, that's the only step we take ;-) and the next time we think about resolution is, the next new year;-)I know I am not alone here.At least some of you are having a smile relating this to yourselves :-) This year I decided to enroll myself for a painting class...fingers crossed and determined to take more steps this time !!

       Being the first post of this year, here comes the biggest of my quilled works till date...After my successful attempt of the National Bird, decided to give tribute to the national Animal..I was bit skeptical on how to proceed with the tiger's face..So started with body first and left the faces till last!! I wanted to capture the facial expressions and very satisfied with the way they turned out.. It took almost 15 days time (was working on and off ) and lots n lots of quilling strips to fold and roll..Worth the effort and loved it <3

That's all for now.. Let me know how you like it and see you all next time guys!!
