Quilled flowers in a basket
Some time ago I created this paper filigree picture using a variety of quilling techniques. You can see here the traditional quilling shapes, as well as husking and fringed flowers. The basket, violets and daffodils were made using teardrops, eyes and bent half circles (1/8"-wide strips). For the leaves of daffodils I used husking. The daisies are fringed flowers (both the petals and the centers), their foliage made of simple cut-outs. For the poppies I used eccentric coils (see Sonya's tutorial for those), and paper punches for the centers.
Size: 5 1/2 x 5 1/2"(14x14cm). The finished work has been framed in a simple white shadowbox.

How much time did it take to complete this project?
Is there a technique for the bent half circle? I found that the bent half circle is the most difficult shape.
Keep on Quillin',

Helen, try making a closed coil and then pressing it against a dowel of some kind, like a marker, a lipstick, or a round handle. Another method is described here, hope it helps.
just in time for spring
love it
