Quilling: Flower arrangement in beige

Recently I've created this relatively simple flower arrangement, as a gift. It's almost monochromatic, in tints of brown and beige. For this project I used a new technique — the one the large curled petals were made with.

The instructions can be found on the blog called "Simple Rhyme" (highly recommended): SR's Royal Flower. My curled flower is made of narrow paper strips, 1/16" in width (1.5mm). The rest of the leaves and flowers are made of ordinary 1/8" (3mm) strips. For the base I used recycled decorative paper with fiber and foil inclusions.

The picture is framed in a modified IKEA frame — I made it about 3/4" (2cm) deeper to accommodate quilling. Size of the finished work is 5"x7" (13x18cm).
