Quilled Totoro toy
If you haven't watched the anime film My Neighbor Totoro, I highly recommend it. This is one of my kids' favorites, so I made a tiny Totoro toy with paper quilling.
Once again I employed the fringed flower technique in combination with three-dimensional quilling. To make Totoro fluffy like this, the fringe had to be very dense, so cutting it took considerable time. For this small project I used light-gray and pale-peach copy paper (80gsm). Size of the finished miniature is about 1 inch (2.5 cm).

Девочки, спасибо всем огромное, рада, что пушистик понравился :)
@Саша - обычно я делаю квиллинг в подарок, очень малая часть остается дома. Миниатюры я храню в прозрачной пластиковой коробочке, чтоб можно было любоваться и в то же время чтоб не пылились. Некоторые из поделок становятся игрушками детей, как этот Тоторо, например :)
Оживлять бумагу - это волшебство и Мастерство!!! Желаю Вам неисчерпаемого творческого вдохновения!!!
I hope you don't mind. If so, please tell me! Thanks a lot! Diana
Thank you for your unrivalled ideas and their wonderful embodiment.

Thank you! I’ve been using digital SLR and point-and-shoot cameras of various models and manufacturers. Lighting is what makes the difference for me, the equipment is less important.

What you see is actually the base :) To create the body I made two fringed flowers, shaped them into half-spheres by pressing in the centers, and glued them together bottom-to-bottom. For the head I made a fringed flower, too. Then shaped a half-sphere out of it as well, and pressed it at two opposite sides so that it has an elliptical base (initially it is round). The elliptical base goes onto the body. Hope you can figure out the rest :)

Unfortunately, I cannot write a tutorial on this. Please read the comment above, I hope it will help you understand how to make the toy.
