This flower arrangement in shades of orange was inspired by the flowers of lily, mum (Chrysanthemum), rose, pot marigold (Calendula) and flame vine (Pyrostegia/Bignonia Venusta).
I should mention that although I had made a sketch for this composition and prepared the quilled flowers, I experienced difficulties assembling it. Usually I add an insect to each of my flower arrangements. For this project I wanted to create an orange colored butterfly, but then decided to make a small bird instead.
So, here's my little sunbird made of narrow, 1/16"-wide (1.5 mm) paper strips.
The petals of the chrysanthemum flowers were made in the following way: first, I made "eye" shapes using 1/8-inch paper strips (3 mm), and then cut each in half lengthwise. The rose petals I made of a special Korean paper which resembles crepe paper. This is my first attempt at using this paper type and I'm very pleased with the result. For the flame vine flowers I created paper cones, and then attached to each either petals, stamens and carpels (for an open flower), or a semi-sphere (for a bud).
Size of the finished picture is 9x9 inches (23x23 cm).

Very beautiful creation Inna. Loved the composition and the colors.
It doesn't look like you had difficulties - it's perfect, Inna! Love the bird.

Very very beautiful Inna...love the bird...
You are AMAZING. The flowers are beautiful. But the little bird...wow, my jaw dropped! Its beautiful. I really want to make one NOW! Your creations are so gorgeous! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM!
Потрясающе! Впрочем, как всегда =)
Птичка вообще шикарная - и все перышки, и глазки, и клювик, и лапки - как живая!
Отличное сочетание цвета и фактур - тут и пушистики, и с лепестками, и плотные "бомбошки", но больше всего понравились не-знаю-как-назвать "рыжие кривые морковки" по краям композиции =)))
How stunning

stunning work!!blends of orange n yellow look awesome!!bird is my fav part in the frame :)
This is so SPLENDID! Just like you Inna I paint and cut my own strips. I always have problems with grape rolls they never turn out smooth like yours. My 3d domes always look uneven and very layered. I am so fed up of trying them again and getting the same effect. Can you suggest something to make more even and smoother 3d Domes? I will be very grateful for your help Inna.

Need I say more?
Simply stunning.
Stunning!! Your choice of colors is simply beautiful, amazing work!!

Using good quilling paper can definitely help. Try also shifting the strip a bit as you roll it, building the dome up from the very beginning instead of pushing the coil afterwards.
@deepa
Sorry, but I have no idea where quilling supplies can be bought in your country. Try ordering them on the Web, there is a number of good sites like Quilled Creations, Lake City Crafts, Custom Quilling by Denise, Whimsiquills, etc. Have a look also at the "Do-it-Yourself Quilling section" of this page: http://increations.blogspot.com/p/paper-quilling.html.
@Sathya
When assembling a flower, I fix its petals at an angle by putting them into a cup-like object of a suitable size. See the sixth photo on http://increations.blogspot.com/2011/03/cherry-blossom-framed-paper-quilling.html. Glue is applied where the petals touch each other.
Oh I love your framed quillings. They are gorgeous and this in no exception.
Здорово!!
И цветы, и птичка - супер!
Its very lovely inna
Thank you!
Just no words to describe the beauty mam... Superbbb
So beautiful! I like your roses here so much! They look very natural. They seem to be done in a new, unusual way for you. As I`m always looking eagerly for your tutorials, I hope you`ll give a new one on making them.And on butterflies and other insects you make so excellently, if you have time and desire to share your special methods.
Your works are always atmospheric, if it can be said this way to show my perception of them. Best wishes!
