Lily and dragonfly, side view

My new paper quilling project, from the "Bugs and flowers" series :) The design is based on a picture from Embroiderer's Countryside, explanation of how to make a similar lily flower can be found in Jane Jenkins' "22 flower designs".

Lily and dragonfly

The strips are hand-cut as usual, the cobweb is made from a strip of parchment, the card stock frame is hand-colored using a bronze metallic ink marker. Size: 16x22cm (6 5/16 x 8 5/8 inches) including the frame, which is 1.5cm (5/8 inch) deep and wide.

Just love the way the spider hangs down, it looks like something you would find early in the morning before the dew has had a chance to dry.

Floral greeting card with spiral flowers

-
Image
I tried to make a greeting card with three-dimensional flowers. The techniques is described in detail in " Paper Crafts Workshop: A Beginner's Guide to Techniques & Projects ". In short: Draw a swirl on coloured paper. Cut the paper following the swirl design with decorative scissors (waves of different types). Start cutting from the outside to the centre. Roll the swirl from the outside towards the centre around a thin round stick or using a quilling tool. Remove the stick and let the rolled paper free. It opens a little into a flower. Pull the centre (a small circle) of the swirl and glue it underneath. Cut out leaves, place them on a soft pad and gently press in veins. UPDATE: Don't miss the video tutorial on how to make such roses.
